The deeper I delve, the more mind-boggling it becomes. Dali apparently has a number of connections to the Dioskouroi. He painted the scene of Leda and the Swan, with the painting titled Leda Atomica. The model used in this painting was his wife Gala. Later he began equating himself with Pollux, his dead brother with Castor, and his wife Gala

You're right, the poets and artists haven't forgotten. I read another article later in the day about Memory and film-making. The author talked about Cicero's story of Simonides of Ceos, which I posted a couple of weeks ago, among many other things. Go down to the section "The Memory Art" and read what he has to say.

I'm still digesting it, not sure if I agree with it completely or not, but I found the insight fascinating. After much searching and a lot of dead e-mail links I've got a note in to the author with a request for a devotional submission. We'll see what happens. :)
