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?
