MYTHOLOGY MEME: [1/7] heroes, prophets and saintsCASTOR AND POLLUX - In Greek and Roman mythology, the heroes Castor (Κάστωρ) and Pollux (Πολυδεύκης, known as Polydeuces to the Greeks) were twin brothers who appeared in several prominent myths. While accounts differ, the common legend has it that their mother Leda was admired by Zeus, who seduced or raped her in the guise of a swan. Their consummation, on the same night as Leda lay with her husband Tyndareus, resulted in two eggs from which hatched Castor and Pollux. The twins were worshiped as gods who helped shipwrecked sailors and who brought favorable winds for those who made sacrifices to them. The Romans considered Castor and Pollux the patron gods of horses and of the Roman social order of mounted knights, called equites.

I know I said not to expect any VC stuff any time soon but I’m working on the house sparrows I had in my freezer!
I also had a bunch of eggs that I’m trying to preserve which is… Not working the way I wanted it to. I was going to poke two holes in the eggs and use a needle & syringe to get the yolk out but. That didn’t work. So now the eggs either have huge holes in them or are broken into two pieces. I painted the insides last night with a coat of Elmer’s glue to hopefully reinforce them? And I’ll try to glue them back together. I hope I didn’t ruin all those eggs…
As for the birds they’re mostly plucked of feathers and soaking in water to loosen up the last of the feathers so I can pull them out. I’m gonna try to clean and keep all the feathers for art or w/e
When the feathers are taken care of I’m gonna skin and gut them to get as much flesh off and then try to preserve them via the Oxidation method. I’ve used that method on my mink, Bucky, my european starling, Apus and lots of feet so hopefully it works well for the house sparrows.
Also I named the sparrows Castor and Pollux after the figures from Greek & Roman mythology! I wanted them to have matching sort of names and in the mythology Castor and Pollux were said to have hatched from eggs so I thought it would be fitting for the birds, plus they’ll hopefully (if I don’t totally destroy them) have a nest full of eggs to watch over.
