Kastor in Polidevk
1. Menelaus had by Helen a daughter, Hermione, and, according to some, a son, Nicostratus. By a slave woman, Pieris, an Aetolian by birth—or Tereis, as Acusilaus calls her—he had Megapenthes; and according to Eumelus, he had Xenodamus by a nymph of Cnossus.
2. Of the sons born to Leda, Castor trained in the arts of war, and Polydeuces in boxing; for their courage, both were called the Dioscuri. Wishing to marry the daughters of Leucippus, they carried them off from Messene and made them their wives. Polydeuces and Phoebe had a son, Mnesileos, and Castor and Hilaera had Anogon.
After driving off a herd of cattle from Arcadia with Idas and Lynceus, the sons of Aphareus, they entrusted Idas with dividing the spoils. He cut an ox into four portions and declared that whoever finished eating his portion first would receive half the booty, and whoever finished second would receive the rest. Idas quickly ate his own portion first, then his brother’s as well, and together they drove the cattle away to Messene. The Dioscuri marched against Messene and drove off that herd along with many others. They then lay in ambush for Idas and Lynceus. But Lynceus caught sight of Castor and told Idas, who killed him. Polydeuces pursued them and killed Lynceus with a cast of his spear. As he chased Idas, however, Idas struck him on the head with a stone, and he fell unconscious. Zeus struck Idas with a thunderbolt and took Polydeuces up to heaven. But Polydeuces would not accept immortality while Castor lay dead, so Zeus granted that both should spend alternate days among the gods and among mortals. After the Dioscuri had been raised to the company of the gods, Tyndareus summoned Menelaus to Sparta and handed the kingdom over to him.

Μενέλαος μὲν οὖν ἐξ Ἑλένης Ἑρμιόνην ἐγέννησε καὶ κατά τινας Νικόστρατον, ἐκ δούλης δὲ Πιερίδος, γένος Αἰτωλίδος, ἢ καθάπερ Ἀκουσίλαός φησι Τηρηίδος, Μεγαπένθη, ἐκ Κνωσσίας δὲ νύμφης κατὰ Εὔμηλον Ξενόδαμον. 2. τῶν δὲ ἐκ Λήδας γενομένων παίδων Κάστωρ μὲν ἤσκει τὰ κατὰ πόλεμον, Πολυδεύκης δὲ πυγμήν, καὶ διὰ τὴν ἀνδρείαν ἐκλήθησαν ἀμφότεροι Διόσκουροι. βουλόμενοι δὲ γῆμαι τὰς Λευκίππου θυγατέρας ἐκ Μεσσήνης ἁρπάσαντες ἔγημαν· καὶ γίνεται μὲν Πολυδεύκους καὶ Φοίβης Μνησίλεως, Κάστορος δὲ καὶ Ἱλαείρας Ἀνώγων.
ἐλάσαντες δὲ ἐκ τῆς Ἀρκαδίας βοῶν λείαν μετὰ τῶν Ἀφαρέως παίδων Ἴδα καὶ Λυγκέως, ἐπιτρέπουσιν Ἴδᾳ διελεῖν· ὁ δὲ τεμὼν βοῦν εἰς μέρη τέσσαρα, τοῦ πρώτου καταφαγόντος εἶπε τῆς λείας τὸ ἥμισυ ἔσεσθαι, καὶ τοῦ δευτέρου τὸ λοιπόν. καὶ φθάσας κατηνάλωσε τὸ μέρος τὸ ἴδιον πρῶτος Ἴδας, καὶ τὸ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ, καὶ μετʼ ἐκείνου τὴν λείαν εἰς Μεσσήνην ἤλασε. στρατεύσαντες δὲ ἐπὶ Μεσσήνην οἱ Διόσκουροι τήν τε λείαν ἐκείνην καὶ πολλὴν ἄλλην συνελαύνουσι. καὶ τὸν Ἴδαν ἐλόχων καὶ τὸν Λυγκέα. Λυγκεὺς δὲ ἰδὼν Κάστορα ἐμήνυσεν Ἴδᾳ, κἀκεῖνος αὐτὸν κτείνει. Πολυδεύκης δὲ ἐδίωξεν αὐτούς, καὶ τὸν μὲν Λυγκέα κτείνει τὸ δόρυ προέμενος, τὸν δὲ Ἴδαν διώκων, βληθεὶς ὑπʼ ἐκείνου πέτρᾳ κατὰ τῆς κεφαλῆς, πίπτει σκοτωθείς. καὶ Ζεὺς Ἴδαν κεραυνοῖ, Πολυδεύκην δὲ εἰς οὐρανὸν ἀνάγει. μὴ
δεχομένου δὲ Πολυδεύκους τὴν ἀθανασίαν ὄντος νεκροῦ Κάστορος, Ζεὺς ἀμφοτέροις παρʼ ἡμέραν καὶ ἐν θεοῖς εἶναι καὶ ἐν θνητοῖς ἔδωκε. μεταστάντων δὲ εἰς θεοὺς τῶν Διοσκούρων, Τυνδάρεως μεταπεμψάμενος Μενέλαον εἰς Σπάρτην τούτῳ τὴν βασιλείαν παρέδωκεν.
