| Publisher Description: In Greek and Roman mythology, Castor and Pollux or Polydeuces, were twin brothers, together known as the Dioscuri, the "Boys of the Deus or Zeus" in a free translation. Their father was Zeus who seduced Leda in the guise of a swan. She was the mother of Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra, the wife of Agamemnon, ruler of the Ancient Greek kingdom of Mycenae or Argos, the femme fatale who murdered her husband. Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, and Pollux the divine son of Zeus, born from an egg, along with their twin sisters Helen and Clytemnestra. In our days, the story developed somewhat dissimilar from the Greek myth. Two entirely different people meet to conjoin their powers and ascend the echelons of social standing. Incompatible, antithetical characters with different backgrounds each, like the poles of the magnet; they struggle to achieve their target, starting out from a humid basement in a poor and underprivileged neighborhood of Athens, to reach luxurious apartments in the Greek capital In every page of this book, the reader encounters a war of emotions, clashing interests, treacherous desires and scandalous love affairs. |
