Now, changing climes alternately, they dwell one day with their dear father Zeus, and the next in the secret places under the earth, within the valleys of Therapnai, fulfilling equal fate: because on this wise chose Polydeukes to live his life rather than to be altogether god and abide continually in heaven, when that Kastor had fallen in the fight.
And since Kastor and his brother Polydeukes came to be the guests of Pamphaes , no marvel is it that to be good athletes should be inborn in the race. For they it is who being guardians of the wide plains of Sparta with Hermes and Herakles mete out fair hap in games, and to righteous men they have great regard. Faithful is the race of gods.
They changed for example -ramu*af- into -ram*a-, Tarquinius into -Tarchnaf-, Minerva into -Menrva-, Menelaos, Polydeukes, Alexandros, into -Menle-, -Pultuke-, -Elchsentre-. The indistinct and rugged nature of their pronunciation is shown most clearly by the fact that at a very early period the Etruscans made no distinction of -o from -u, -b from -p, -c from -g, -d from -t.
The gods also of the mariner, Castor and Polydeukes or, in Roman form, Pollux, the god of traffic Hermes the Roman Mercurius and the god of healing, Asklapios or Aesculapius, became early known to the Romans, although their public worship only began at a later period.
