the Diwós Sūnū́
Or as I write it, the Diwós Sunú. Also simply called "the Divine Twins"
Diwós Sunú means "Sons of Dyéus". They are also known as the Ék̑winō (Horse-like), the Diwós Népote (Descendants of Dyéus), the Yéwone (Young Ones), etc.
They are great horse riders and warriors. Their fight, however, is to help and save those in need, be they gods or mortals. They are youthful and strong
This source, gives their individual names as Áusros and Wékʷsperos:
Áusros is the god of the morning star, a god of fertility and harvest. He is more peaceful and associated with cattle.
Wékʷsperos is the god of the evening star, a god of war and travel. He is more of a warrior, patron of riders, owners of horses, warriors and cavalrymen.
They are the sons of Dyéus and Apóm Népots with Ékwona, each of these gods fathering one of the twins.
As a pair, the Twins guide mankind, especially sailors, farmers, and riders, and may be prayed to for healing, fertility, and prosperity. They are divine rescuers from all sorts of immediate crises. They will be there in the midst of a hurricane. They are the closest deities to humanity, sometimes featured as sharing meals with us instead of receiving sacrifice.
They both are the consorts of the sun goddess Sáwol and they pull her chariot across the sky each day at her command
