Twins appear in the mythologies of many cultures around the world. In some cultures they are seen as ominous, and in others they are seen as auspicious. Twins in mythology are often cast as two halves of the same whole, sharing a bond deeper than that of ordinary siblings, or seen as fierce rivals. They can be seen as representations of a dualistic worldview. They can represent another aspect of the self, a doppelgänger, or a shadow. However, twins can also reflect a complete opposition of the other, such as the "civilized" Gilgamesh, and the "wild" Enkidu; or in the commonly known instance of good and evil twin identities.

  • Близнечные мифы — мифы, в которых главными действующими лицами являются близнецы, распространённые у многих народов мира. Близнецы являются частыми действующими лицами дуалистических мифов, в которых один из братьев-демиургов создаёт всё доброе и полезное, а второй — всё злое и вредное. Например, такими близнецами являются Ахура Мазда и Ангра-Майнью в зороастризме, Ен и Омэль в мифологии коми. Также распространён миф о вражде близнецов, один из которых убивает своего брата (Ромул и Рем, Каин и Авель). (ru)
