Yes, the very common [**divine twins myths**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_twins) are believed to trace back to a shared [Proto-Indo-European](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-European_religion) narrative. The central motif involves two twins born of the sky deity (or sun), with some customary attributes such as being horsemen or riding horse-drawn chariots. > Another manifestation of the binary conception of society and the world is the cult of twins widespread in Indo-European mythology. A myth of divine twins who are children of the sun god goes back to Proto-Indo-European antiquity. The myth is found in all the main ancient Indo-European traditions, which not only repeat the same motfisbut also share correspondences in the names of the heroes, thus establishing the Proto-Indo-European character of the motif and the personages. > > **<sub> - Gamkrelidze, T.
