See, this is the problem when cultures try to stomp out other cultures. Things get confusing several thousand years later.
Hermes, not Hermies. Cronus or Kronos, not Chronos (the Roman Saturnus was based on the primordial Titan, son of Uranus and Gaia, not on the personification of Time.) Poseidon, not Posieden. And Hades, not Thanatos (Hades/Pluto is the god of the underworld, Thanatos is the Greek god of death.)
That’s why the name didn’t shift when I changed them to greek.
Actually, Uranus was the only planet not to be named after a Roman God. Uranus’s roman counterpart is Caelus.
Hermies is older. Romans took the greek pantheon and repurposed them, in many cases, just changing names.
Our solar system is in fact named after the Roman names of the gods, but if we were to switch them to the greek equivalents, it would be:
Hermies, Aphrodite, Gaia, Aries, Zeus, Chronos, Uranis, Posieden, Thanatos.
