Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dioscuri in the Christian Legends Even where the equivalence of the names is not apparent to the eye nor sensible to the ear, it is often quite clear to the reflecting mind. But then the same things may be said of the young ladies who were ibis-wardens at Thebes, although one of them was called Tathautis and the other Taeibis; for we can dissect out of their names when the feminine prefix is removed (a) the god Thoth, (b) the sacred ibis which is his outward and visible equivalent. A similar case in the Greek mythology is that of the two brethren Lynceus and Idas who kill Castor and Pollux, or rather who kill Castor, for Pollux is one of the immortals. It has been suspected by scholars that the conflict in question relates to a struggle for supremacy between two independent local cults of the Great Twin-brethren; and certainly when we examine the names of the supposed Dioscuri of Messene, Lynceus and Idas, we find the idea of sharp-sightedness, not only in the well-known Lynceus but also in his brother; and this encourages the belief that they are twins, though the names at first seem to be remote. Probably with a better knowledge of philology, we should be able to make the still desiderated nexus between the names of Castor and Pollux. So, without any reference to the Acta Sanctorum, we were able to infer that Florus and Lauius were twins.
