bytemeister:Actually its not the greek gods but the Roman Gods intead. . Venus, mercury, Jupiter, saturn, Neptune, Mars Are all Roman Gods. Uranus and Gaia (earth) are Greek Gods. . . And yes the planets were named after the Gods instead and not the other way round. And yes again, the ancient men knew the existence of other planets but only stopped at Saturn. . .And they observed this through the stars constellations with the aid of a hand held telescope, its the branch of study (science or natural philosophy) they call Astrology which we call Astronomy now 1 Like 1 Share |
