    The entire solar system millenniums ago were named by Greek Gods because during that time, due to no light pollution, they seen shooting stars galore, full ass constellations, the entire s*** was lit up af so the only explanation they had for it all were God's making things happen up there

    What Greek god is named Earth tho?

    The Greek divinity of the Earth was Gaia - whose name derives from the Greek word for Earth (Ge/Gi)

    I guess the name is not translated because it would be strange to read about Zeus, Poseidon, and Earth - similarly, Helios literally means Sun, yet the name of the god is not translated

    It also rhymes with Girth

    okay yeah that makes sense

    Gaia feels so much more of a comforting name tbh
