Greek Myth LII: Pseudo-Apollodorus’s Bibliotheca Book III, Chapter XI – Dioscuri, or Twin Time

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inGreek Myth, The Greeks

For famous twins, they don’t get much screentime in the Bibliotheca…

Discussion Prompts

  1. Castor or Pollux? Why?
  2. Discuss liminality as seen in the Dioscuri.
  3. How do you think Helen feels about her brothers? Or Clytaemestra for that matter?
  4. Are Geminis liminal like the Dioscuri?
  5. What are your favorite stories about the Dioscuri (from this source or another one)? Why?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
