Notes
- a.k.a. the Dioskouroi (delta 1209).
The present headword phrase, grammatically dual, is otherwise attested only in Julian, On the Deeds of the Emperor 25, and is presumably quoted from there. For something comparable see Theocritus, Idylls 22.1.
For Leda see lambda 407; and cf. alpha 1897, alpha 4309, delta 1209, tau 1169.
