Two = two.And your logic is deeply flawed. Why would the Phobos and Deimos of mythology be the same as the Phobos and Deimos orbiting Mars, and yet the people in Swift's works of fiction, and the surface features of the moons be different? You're applying inconsistent logic, if what you're using can be called logic at all.
Deimos and Phobos.
I already provided book and line number.Where in the Iliad is it said that Deimos and Phobos are physical satellites of Mars, which is a planet?
In the real world, the planet existed, was named, deified, and worshipped before Latin existed as a language.The planet was named after the god, the planet is not the god.
Do you claim outerspace is not under the world? Then what is?Tartarus in Greek mythology lies below the underworld. It couldn't be less outer space.
The planets faught a battle in outerspace -- theomachy -- when they deviated from their orbits and when other catastrophic events occured in heaven.Even if this is true, and given your history of quote mining, I have my doubts, it is no evidence that the planets had god-like powers.
The solar system was not discovered in 1877.Any evidence of this, apart from the fact that the men who discovered the moons in 1877 named them after characters from mythology?
Uranus was named by the Greeks.Incidentally, when Uranus was first discovered, it was actually named after King George III. Do you think the planet was literally King George III?
Jonathan Swift didn't invent the two moons of Mars. They are real.No it doesn't. Jonathan Swift invented two moons of Mars for a fictional story, a story which also includes Lilliput, and Brondingnag.
So you claim. Astrolatry: look it up.It is a coincidence that there happen to be two actual moons of Mars.
Pluto is the Roman name for the planet Hades.I know you belive the darndest things, but, and let me stress this, not everybody thinks the same way you do.
What has that quote got to do with anything? The name for Pluto was chosen by an 11 year old girl. What connection did she have with the ancient Greeks and their spaceships and nuclear weapons? How would she have known that Pluto was the literal god of the underworld? Also, underworld. What would the god of the underworld be doing so far away from the underworld's location, underground on earth?
Quote please.Yes. Are you denying the existence of Hesiod?
