Dioscuri, Santiago Matamoros

Many years ago, I read that the cult of Santiago Matamoros is essentially a continuation of a cult of the Dioscuri in northwestern Spain. It is not too far-fetched (Saint George = Perseus et cetera; the Dioscuri and James both intervene in cavalry battles). If I recall correctly, the theory was that the cult was even pre-Roman: an Iberian cult for the Twins, romanized, and Christianized.
Does anyone who proposed this? |
