When Heracles came into Hades for his twelfth task, he freed Theseus but the earth shook when he attempted to liberate Pirithous, and Pyrithous had to remain in Hades for eternity. When Heracles had pulled Theseus from the chair where he was trapped, some of his thigh stuck to it; this explains the supposedly lean thighs of Athenians. When Theseus returned to Athens, he found that the Dioscuri had taken Helen and Aethra back to Sparta.
Hippolyta
So begining a son of zues program, the spirit of the twe;th task or better yet temporally and dimentionally congruently placed, hercules entered hades and freed theseus from rule over it. the old kingdom of africa belonged tpo Pirithous whose rights were over the land though theseus was equal in stature to him by alliebnce of equal authority authenticating all of it yet it was the greeks of helens descent that he chpose to rule as. His path was through his mom and dad and he was given rule through the greeks and autrhotrity pof hercules the prophet or the one of the twelve tasks that is also a ritual of passage in haties africa along the northern coast along the bnorth wal, next to gelbrator south. now located for this tiome . So both theseus and his friend passed but the friend got to rule this area and represented hades as theseus left representing hercules triumphant. One could leave as a brother hero or of the race chosen by the daughter represented and as hercu;les chose helen she drew line from hercules not just persephone once removed as he did to helen. Theseus called himself iperian greek( hellas) as perious greek african( softi) Theseus rites were ibn greece athens through his dad too. hades was spiritual conveyed to the someone right here and now, yes he is sitting her/..e!!!
when hercules pulled Theseus from the seat his thighs clung to the throne showing he was stiull linked to its authority at the thiogh and not the hip as he blessed the new ruler and went to his lands. Thus the stigmata was placed that a true athenean like me you abnd the somebody, yes you can be obe too, everyone, was left to prove it, I have like the someone felt it. Thus I share in theseus powers through the thigh even to hades but one canm like him still sit in that throne in triumph. So this was the ritual that caused Theseus as the twelth task to enter gades abnd gain authority for his people as the real hercules met his spirit in hades though theseus was still a boy, a dream aparition of a future triumph set in time congruent at a pinicle point for both in both thier times, hercules' and theseus'.
By the time theseus dies back to athens he went. he found the diascuri the divine black hoods that make pandoras and godess, bloaked in black, took helen and theseus mother agAethra basckl to sparta as equal mothers and godess of zues as God. UQ 2 QU

(European mythology)
The sons of Zeus, Castor and Polydeuces, to the Romans Pollux. They are called by Homer the brothers of Helen, whom they rescued from Attica after Theseus had carried her there. They were Argonauts; on the expedition Polydeuces slew with his bare hands Amycus, king of the savage Bebryces, a people of Bithynia. Their final exploit, an attempted abduction, ended in the death of Castor, although legend insists that both of Zeus' sons obtained immortality. The cult of the Dioscuri was very important amongst the Spartans, since they associated their worship with a tradition of dual kingship. In Rome, too, Castor and Pollux were reverenced from the fifth century BC onwards. It was said that they had personally aided the Romans on the battlefield.

Dioscuri
Top
Home > Library > Miscellaneous > Britannica Concise Encyclopedia
(from Greek dioskouroi, "sons of Zeus") Twin gods of ancient Greece and Rome. They aided shipwrecked sailors and accepted sacrifices for favourable winds. Castor was mortal and Pollux was immortal; when Castor was killed, Pollux disowned his immortality to join his brother. The pair were excellent horsemen and were said to have participated in the hunting of the Calydonian boar, the voyage of the Argo, and the rescue of their sister Helen (who had been captured by Theseus). They were believed to have aided the Romans in an important battle early in their history, and a temple in their honour was built in the Roman Forum.

Dioscūri
Top
Home > Library > Literature & Language > Classical Literature Companion
Dioscūri (Dios kouroi, ‘sons of Zeus’), in Greek myth, Castor and Polydeuces (Lat. Pollux). They were native to Sparta, where they were worshipped. In Homer and in Hesiod they are the twin sons Tyndareus and Leda, and the brothers of Helen (of Troy). Later, Polydeuces is represented as the son of Zeus, and immortal. When Castor, the mortal son of Tyndareus, is fatally wounded (see below), Polydeuces chooses to share his immortality with his brother, so that they both spend half their time in the Underworld and the other half with the gods on Mount Olympus. Other accounts make them both sons of Zeus, born like Helen from an egg. They occur in three mythical stories. When Theseus carried off Helen as a child they made an expedition to Attica, recovered her, and took Theseus' mother Aethra as well to be Helen's slave. Helen's place of concealment had been revealed by the hero Akademos (see ACADEMY), whose land was always spared in consequence by invading Lacedaemonians. In another story they took part in the voyage of the Argonauts, Polydeuces distinguishing himself in the fight against Amycus. Finally they carried off the two daughters of a certain Leucippus, Hilaēīra and Phoebē, who were betrothed to their cousins Idas and Lynceus. In the ensuing fight (or, in some versions, in a cattle raid) Castor and both opponents were killed. It was on this occasion that Polydeuces gave Castor a share of his immortality (see above). The Dioscuri are often identified with the constellation Gemini (the Twins). They were commonly regarded as protectors of sailors, to whom they appeared during storms as the lights of St Elmo's fire. They were also notable boxers and horsemen, frequently called ‘riders of white horses’, and therefore the patrons of athletes and athletic contests.
In Roman religion the worship of Castor and Pollux was introduced in early times, Castor always being the more popular. Their temple at Rome (nearly always known as the temple of Castor) was vowed by the dictator Aulus Postumius during the battle of the Romans against the Latins at Lake Regillus (496 BC). The story was that they then fought at the head of the Roman army and after the battle brought the news of the victory to Rome; they were seen watering their horses at the Lacus Iuturnae (‘pool of Juturna’, a fountain in the Forum) and their temple was erected on that spot, beside that of Vesta. According to another story (related in Cicero, De natura deorum), Publius Vatinius (grandfather of the famous tribune) informed the senate that he had met two youths on white horses who told him of the capture of Perseus of Macedon on that day (168 BC); he was thrown into prison until his statement was confirmed by dispatches. The Roman equites regarded the brothers as their particular patrons. The common oaths mecastor and edepol, based on their names, are evidence of their popularity.

They were the children of Leda and either Zeus, the king of the gods, or Tyndareus, Leda’s mortal husband and the king of Lacedaemon.
