Furies \n  \n  \nor Erinyes (rn´-z) (KEY) , in Greek and Roman religion and mythology, three daughters of Mother Earth, conceived from the blood of Uranus, when Kronos castrated him. They were powerful divinities that personified conscience and punished crimes against kindred blood, especially matricide. They were usually represented as winged women with serpent hair. Their names were Megaera [jealous], Tisiphone [blood avenger], and Alecto [unceasing in pursuit]. When called upon to act, they hounded their victims until they died in a “furor” of madness or torment. In the myth of Orestes they appear as Clytemnestra’s agents of revenge. After Athena absolved Orestes of guilt in the murder of his mother, she gave the Furies a grotto at Athens where they received sacrifices and libations, and became euphemistically known as the Eumenides [kindly ones]. \n\nThat's the story of the Furies. Could be 'hags' you're looking for.

Well, considering that the known planets are named after Roman and Greek gods and goddesses, I'd probably continue the tradition by naming one either Athena or Aphrodite.

The following passages are used without permission and address the Greek names of the gods.\n\nThe Twelve Olympians, also known as the Dodekatheon (Greek: δωδεκα, dodeka, "twelve" + θεον, theon, "of the gods"), in Greek religion, were the principal gods of the Greek pantheon, residing atop Mount Olympus. There were, at various times, seventeen different gods recognized as Olympians, though never more than twelve at one time.\n\nZeus, Hera, Poseidon, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo, and Artemis are always considered Olympians. Hebe, Helios, Hestia, Demeter, Dionysus, Hades, and Persephone are the variable gods among the Twelve. Hestia gave up her position as an Olympian to Dionysus in order to live among mankind (eventually she was assigned the role of tending the fire on Mount Olympus); while he sometimes would not accept the offer of being an Olympian god. Persephone spent three months of the year in the underworld (causing the barren landscape of summer), and was allowed to return to Mount Olympus for the other nine months in order to be with her mother, Demeter; who, during this time, would be in woe and not be with the Olympians. And, although Hades was always one of the principal Greek gods, his home in the underworld of the dead made his connection to the Olympians more tenuous. In some accounts, Helios gave up his seat for Apollo. In even rarer, but definite accounts, Hebe, the gods' cupbearer is an Olympian herself, but gave up her job as cupbearer to marry Heracles who became an Olympian upon his death.\n\nRoman names:\nZeus = Jupiter\nHera = Juno\nPoseidon = Neptune\nAres = Mars\nHermes = Mercury\nHephaestus = Vulcan\nAphrodite = Venus\nAthena = Minerva\nApollo = Apollo\nArtemis = Diana\nHebe = Juventas\nHelios = Sol\nHestia = Vesta\nDemeter = Ceres\nDionysus = Bacchus\nHades = Pluto\nPersephone = Prosperina\nHeracles = Hercules\n\nPlease take time to vote for the best answer.
