Summary/Abstract: Theocritus’ 22th idyll is a hymn to the Dioscuri, in which the stories about Castor and Lynceus are embedded. A dialog follows the boxing match between Polydeuces and Amycus, but in the other story, the speech of Lynceus is followed by the silence of Castor and it cannot prevent use of force and cruelty. The rhetorical analysis of Lynceus’ speech can be considered as a further prove of the unity of the poem.
