I have heard myths about girl/boy twins like Apollo and Artemis and boy/boy twins like Castor and Pollux, but what about girl/girl twins? I can't seem to find any.

  1. Don't think there is. Found this though, but doesn't seem like any cultures listed have girl/girl twins. http://www.sfu.ca/archaeology/museum/ndi...


  2. Technically speaking the furies might be considered twins:

    Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone

    They were born from the blood of Ouranous hence at the same time.


  3. Well, technically, Castor and Clytemnestra were twins and Pollux and Helen were twins that were born out of two eggs (Leda, the swan, some other guy...it was a little weird there.)

    C & C were the mortal twins, and P & H were the immortal twins.  

    But I guess you could say that they were quadruplets since they were all born (laid?) at the same time.

    Zeus as a swan...what a freak.

    I don't think there were any female twins unless the ones above count.
