THE BEGINNING
The Greeks named the days week after the
sun, the moon and the five known planets,
which were in turn named after the gods
Ares, Hermes, Zeus, Aphrodite, and Cronus.
The Greeks called the days of the week the
Theon hemerai "days of the Gods".

THEN CAME THE ROMANS
The Romans substituted their
equivalent gods for the Greek gods,
Mars, Mercury, Jove (Jupiter),
Venus, and Saturn. (The two
pantheons are very similar.)
