The Dioscuri in the Christian Legends
J. Rendel Harris
This book traces the influence of the ancient pagan legends of Castor and Pollux, the Dioscuri, on Christian hagiography. Rendel Harris charts how the Church not only displaced ancient religious practices centred around the Dioscuri with their own traditions, but also how Christians took pagan legends and reshaped them for their own purposes.
