Dievo sūneliai (the "sons of "Dievas"") – Ašvieniai, pulling the carriage of Saulė (the Sun) through the sky. Like the Greek Dioscuri Castor and Pollux, it is a mytheme of the Divine twins common to the Indo-European mythology. Two well-accepted descendants of the Divine Twins, the Vedic Aśvins and the Lithuanian Ašvieniai, are linguistic cognates ultimately deriving from the Proto-Indo-European word for the horse, "*h₁éḱwos". They are related to Sanskrit "áśva" and Avestan "aspā" (from Indo-Iranian "*aćua"), and to Old Lithuanian "ašva", all sharing the meaning of "mare".
