Anaxias

Anaxias (Ancient Greek: Ἀναξίας) or Anaxis (Greek: Ἄναξις) was in Greek and Roman mythology a son of Castor and Hilaeira, and brother of Mnasinus, with whom he is usually mentioned. The temple of the Dioscuri at Argos contained also the statues of these two sons of Castor,[1] and on the throne of Amyclae both were represented riding on horseback.[2]
