The Romans Were Good At Naming Things!
Modern astronomers are out here naming exoplanets like they're typing passwords after three failed attempts. "Let's see... Gliese 581c? J1407b? Oh, and don't forget WASP-12b because apparently we're naming celestial bodies after insects now!" Meanwhile, Romans just looked at the biggest planet in our solar system and went "Big red thing? That's Jupiter, king of the gods. BOOM. Done. Let's go have some wine." This is why nobody's making mythology about "The Epic Adventures of HAT-P-7b" but we're still talking about Jupiter 2000 years later. Sometimes simplicity wins, people!
