Aphrodite isn't the Goddess of Venus or the moon. She's the Greek Goddess of Love, Beauty and Fertility. The confusion comes from the fact that the Greeks and Romans had an almost identical pantheon of Gods and Goddesses. The Goddess that was known to the Greeks as Aphrodite was Venus to the Romans (the planet was named after the Goddess, not the other way around). \n\nSome people confuse Aphrodite with Artemis. Artemis was the Greek Goddess of the hunt and was often associated with the moon (sensible as one hunts best at night under a full moon).\n\nAt any rate the Greeks and Romans did not believe that their Gods and Goddesses ruled over any planets but simply associated certain planets with them.

Hi, there! My name is Diana as well. Diana was a Goddess of the ancient Greek and it was mentioned in the bible as Simon was a priest in her temple at the time of St Paul. Simon after that became Christian.

The greeks developed much of the basics of science, math, philosophy and government that we have today.  The planets are named either from the greek or roman names for the olympian gods.  Many words come from greek.  The fastest god, Hermes, or Mercury who was the messenger god is where we get the modern name for element number 80 formerly known as quick silver.  Everyone knows who cupid is.  The greek name for cupid is Eros from which we get the term erotic.  The early space missions were named after the gods mercury and apollo.  Many of the constellations are named for characters in greek myths such as pegasus, orion and cassiopea.  \n\nmuch of our culture comes from the classic greek and roman socities and their early democracies and knowing the stories tells us about their lives and civilizations, their values and customs.  For example one continuing theme in greek mythology is a hero is often struck down for thinking himself equal to the gods, a sin called huberis.  One of the themes is that man has a place beneath gods.  Perhaps this is a way to keep a people in line and perhaps some of our modern judeo christian myths are designed to do the same.  When the god Prometheus defied the king of the gods Zeus by giving man fire he was kicked out of heaven and bound to a rock where vultures ate him alive.  but being immortal he would heal every day and go through the same horror again.  when Lucifer challenged the throne of God he was cast down into Hell.  When Jonas refused to follow God's instruction he got to spend some quality time learning about the digestive tract of a whale.\n\n   Some myths talk about the Greek idea of heroism.  Odysseus, while traped on circe's island is offered immortality and rejects it on the grounds that what good is bravery if he can't die.

I think they should continue with the Greek/Roman God tradition. I'd put my vote for Hera (in greek) Juno (in Roman). She might as well have one.

In the beginning there was only the Goddess Gaia (earth) and the Sky God (uranus).  From the union of the two (where earth meets sky) came many babies (the titans and many different beasts and monsters including the hundred-handed giants and the cyclops).  Uranus did not want to see these children and forced them all to live underground so he would never have to see them (not exactly an ideal father).  \n\nThe Goddess was very sad at the way he treated her children and asked them to rebel.  The youngest of the 12 titans agreed and the next time Uranus tried to lay down with his mother he rose up and attacked Cronus (I won't go into the details since they would probably be asterisked out) and drove him away permanently.  Thus began the rule of the Titans with Cronos as thier leader.\n\nEach of the Titans was named after a fundamental force in the world: forethought, oceans, memory... Things went on for awhile until Cronos began to fear his own child would someday rise up to overthrow him.  Every time a child was born he would swipe it up and swallow it whole so it would never be able to challenge his rule.\n\nZeuss's mother was also saddened by this, and substituted a rock for baby zeuss which was swallowed whole.  After Cronos left Zeuss was given to the neriads (rivers) to raise.  He eventually grew up and was discovered by his father who agreed to take him in as a lowly servent to prove his loyalty, Zeuss (being clever) poisoned Cronos's drink and made him ill, whereupon he regurgitated all of the Olympian Gods he had swallowed (they were divine and were still very much alive).  Thus began the war of the Titans whereupon the Olympians enlisted the help of the cyclopses and the hundred-handed ones and others to overthrow the Titans.\n\nThere are many ways to view the story, as a parable, creation story or an oversimplification of life deveoping on earth.
