Apollo/Artemis, Castor/Pollux, Romulus/Remus
Greco-Roman mythology is riddled with twins.
Castor and Pollux (the Dioscuri) are figures from Greek and Roman mythology considered the twin sons of Zeus or Jupiter. Semi-divine figures, the twins were credited with the role of saving those in trouble at sea or in grave danger in war.
Zeus fathers at least three sets of twins and Poseidon has four. Apollo has the unusual power to create twins among other species.
Artemis, in Greek religion, the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation and of chastity and childbirth; she was identified by the Romans with Diana. Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo.
When clouds weren't blocking her view, Artemis gazed down on Orion as he roamed around his deserted island, and she fell in love with him. But there was a problem: The gods could not mingle with the mortals. Artemis knew this but couldn't resist.
In Greek tradition, Artemis is the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo.
Zeus's Favourite Child Was Possibly Athena, Goddess of War
Perhaps partly because of the strange circumstances of her birth, Athena is often cited as Zeus's favourite child. He also greatly admired her strength of character and fighting spirit.
Zeus'favourite son is Heracles, & his favourite daughter is Athena. One thing that these 2 have in common is, neither one of them are Hera's children.
Mnemosyne spent nine nights with Zeus, and on each of these nights, he fathered a child. The nine children were born in the same birth and were known as the nine muses, the goddesses of artistic inspiration. The nine daughters of Mnemosyne and Zeus were: Calliope, muse of epic poetry.
Another famous son of Zeus is the great hero Hercules, who we might all know as the iconic totem of masculinity and power. He was born a demigod, as his mother was the mortal woman Alcmene.
Zeus's wife, Hera, a goddess jealous of usurpers, discovered his affair with Semele when she later became pregnant.
Castor and Pollux (or Polydeuces) are twin half-brothers in Greek and Roman mythology, known together as the Dioscuri.
In Classical mythology, Apollo and his twin, Artemis, were born on the isle of Delos to Zeus and Leto.
In Greek mythology, Castor and Pollux share a bond so strong that when mortal Castor dies, Pollux gives up half of his immortality to be with his brother. Castor and Pollux are the Dioscuri twin brothers.
Aphrodite, daughter of Zeus and the goddess Dione, is known as the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, passion and procreation.
Poseidon's favorite demigod son, Percy Jackson, was noted to be nearly the spitting image of his father, with the same black hair, sea-green eyes, and brooding look.
Heracles – Son of Zeus and Alcmene
He possessed superhuman strength and courage. Because he was a reminder of Zeus's unfaithfulness, Hera made it her mission to make his life miserable. At one point, she drove him to madness and he killed his own children. To atone for his sins, he went through his famous “Labors”.
GANYMEDES (Ganymede) was a handsome Trojan prince who was carried off to heaven by Zeus in the shape of an eagle where he was appointed as cup-bearer of the gods. Ganymedes was also placed amongst the stars as the constellation Aquarius, his ambrosial mixing cup as Crater, and the eagle as Aquila.
Perseus is another one of Zeus' most celebrated mortal sons. He was born from the mortal Danae. His mother was the daughter of the King of Argos. After hearing a prophecy that his daughter's son would be his demise, King Acrisius imprisoned Danae.
KAIROS (Caerus) The god of opportunity was the youngest divine son of Zeus.
She was one of only three unmarried virgin goddesses in the Greek world. The others were Athena, the goddess of war, and Hestia, the goddess of the hearth. Although Artemis did not have any children of her own, she protected women during pregnancy and during childbirth.
Apollo is a masculine name of Greek origin that will definitely bring out baby's badass side. While this name means “destroyer,” Apollo is a figure that is iconic in Greek and Roman mythology.
According to the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, three goddesses are unable to feel sexual desire: Athena, Artemis and Hestia. They swore to keep their virginity forever, with Zeus's approval. In modern times, they may be classified as asexuals.
