"The twins were born as mortal princes, sons of the Spartan queen Leda, one being fathered by Zeus the other by her husband Tyndareus. Because of their generosity and kindness to man they were apotheosed into gods at death. At first Polydeukes alone, being a son of Zeus, was offered this gift, but he agreed only on condition that his half-twin Kastor share the honour. Zeus assented, but the pair had to spend alternate days in Haides to appease the Fates and the Gods of the Dead"
Well I knew that you meant the Gemini, but well they are brothers so the lovers comment didn't make much sense to me. After all filios can be just as strong as Eros.
I came across this wiccan group whom focus on the divine twins and one tradition, well feri trad, they believe in the divine twins as "together They can represent either the power of polarity or resonance. In theology they are often a sexually active pair,....." so that is where that one came from-
I'm not sure what to make of it. I don't have anything against gay sex, but this particular pair was never portrayed as homosexual incestuous lovers, and I see no reason to radically revise that understanding.
I came across a goup that honours the divine twins and one tradition, well feri trad, they believe in the divine twins as "together They can represent either the power of polarity or resonance. In Feri theology they are often a sexually active pair,....."
Granted while never stated that they were incestuous lovers-but i guess my thought process is, is it out of the realm of possiblity???
like i said it was just a thought-
But I am doing some research on gods that had homosexual connection-

Since based on myths they did everything together-even in death they couldn't be seperated-
