Description
"Two Brothers" is a group of rocks located in the Amalfi Coast, Italy.
The widespread legend about the origin of the name tells of two young shepherds who, pushed with their flock to the beach, were enchanted by the beauty of a mysterious girl who was sleeping in the middle of the sea. At the sudden unleashing of a storm, the two young men in pain for her jumped into the water in an attempt to rescue her, but without success and drowning. The flock faithful to its shepherds followed the two young men, finding their tragic end too. The girl was saved because she was none other than the sea nymph Roda, daughter of Poseidon, god of the sea. Poseidon admired the courage and generosity of the gesture of the two young people and decided to transform the remains into the two rocks now known as the "Two Brothers" and the sheep of their flock into small rocks that surround them in the sea.
The Amalfi Coast is a stretch of coastline in Tyrrhenian Sea, located between the Gulf Of Naples and the Gulf Of Salerno in the Southern Italy.
The Amalfi Coast is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
