In Greek mythology, there existed the twin warriors Castor and Pollux, Pollux representing the Gods and Castor representing the dead. It would seem that this pairing has can be seen in historical figures.
A pair of great people(s), one representing the Gods and one representing the dead. Never friends, with conflicting ideologies, they came upon an existing "platform" and expanded it massively.
Examples:
Plato and Aristotle
Da Vinci and Michelangelo
The Beatles and The Rolling Stones
Jung and Freud
Tesla and Edison
Tupac and Biggie
Beethoven and Mozart
Kierkegaard and Nietzsche
Crowley and Gurdjieff (for those of you into the occult)
What does /lit/ think of my theory? Can you think of any other examples?

Or you could say that existed Plato and Aristotle, with very different ideas, and that pair is also found in [your list].

Or that Beatles and Rolling Stones present an archetypal duality that is anachronically represented by [your list]

Ok, my point being, it is not that Castor and Pollux are keys that define all of those pairs you mentioned, but simply that they parallel to each other, they come together. This is important to have in mind, otherwise you'll form a false hierarchy and you'll always refer to the same pair again and again. You'll find similarities, but there are also plenty of differences that cannot escape you. When psychoanalysis talks of Narcisus, Oedipus or Antigone, they are using them as illustrations for fundamental relationships that are not equal to the real situations, but that offer insight on how to deal with them. In the same way, you can use Castor and Pollux to talk about those relationships, not only because they have similarities, but because the acknowledging of those similarities help you see the points in which they differ.

In other words, there is no TEAMCASTOR or TEAMPOLLUX

>Da Vinci and Michelangelo
And Raphael.

And Marx. He was certainly a bigger deal than Kierkegaard.

And Jungle Jim.
