Since Gods and heroes are mentioned in the Iliad and Odyssey that according to modern studies predate the Roman scholars I have to accept the first historical appearance of the names for my search in trying to find the origins of their meaning.
Iliad: en.wikipedia.org...
Table or Roman equivalents of greek gods:

The point I was trying to make is that the names are Roman not Greek. Yes Greek mythology is the origins of Roman Mythology if that is what your trying to suggest. However this is just semantics no use in arguing over such things.
I was mainly trying to inform you as to why at least some of the planets are named the way they are. As per your inquiry. And thus lending credence to the manner in which aliens are labled.
Does that make sense?

You seem to miss my point entirely. Please re-read my responses in the context of the original OP article, not just the ones you are quoting. You will understand why I argue about the symbology.
I have seen this in most threads, people just like to jump from an OP's article in to posting their own statements and disregard the whole thread.
Do people really read the entire thread nowadays? I wonder!

I mean come on i believe in aliens and ufos i've seen 3 ufos in my lifetime. i know the universe is to big for just us. But the OP claims are just to far fetched and he made no attempt to provide evidence to back up even 1% of his story.
