The Twin Horse Gods

The Twin Horse Gods is rich in old stories and new ideas about everything in its title – twins, and horses and gods – and much more. It tracks this ancient Indo-European pair through India, Greece, and Rome, and in each place upsets reigning scholarly theories, arguing for their importance as social utcasts and friends of human underdogs as well as the healers and eternal youths we knew they were. They are much more peculiar and interesting and important than I realized before I read Henry John Walker’s book.
