Boreas abducted Orithyia and made her his wife. Their twin sons

Sibling hatred knew no limits when it came to my brother Atreus
and I. Ok, so I had an affair with his wife, stole his lambs fleece
and tried to rule Mycenae instead of him. Being banished SURELY,
was punishment enough, but no! He invited me round for dinner.
After I had eaten, Atreus showed me the heads of my children,
making it quite clear the true nature of the meal.

Polydeuces and his twin brother were inseparable and went
on many adventures together. An altercation occurred which
caused the intervention of Zeus, who rescued his son Polydeuces
and took him to Olympus. His twin, who was of mortal origin
was killed and duly took his place in the Underworld.
They were so distressed at being apart that Zeus allowed
them to spend alterate days in each place together.

they simultaneously killed each other. Thus the curse was fulfilled.

Otus and I are twin brothers, born to Iphimedea as giants.
We were unruly and oh boy! did we cause havoc. We stacked
up mountains, chased goddesses, even had Ares chained up in
a bronze cauldron once. Our behavior annoyed the Gods. We
ended up in Tartarus bound with snakes to a pillar,
with an irritating owl perpetually screeching at us.

in favour of the Greeks.
