According to the Greek mythology, Dioskouri, Castor and Polydefkis, were twin brothers, sons of Zeus and Lyda and brothers of Helen of Sparta. They are considered to be protectors of sailors since they appear as constellations in order to help sailing. They are directly connected with the sanctuary of the Great Gods of Samothrace and the famous Kaviria Mysteries. The find of the inscription and the existence of two buildings with identical floor plan, led to the wrong assumption that the place was a sanctuary dedicated to the twin sons of Zeus, Dioskouri.
