Bonus panel: Moon enters with shit-eating grin.
I'm Spanish all the days of the week are named after the planets, the moon and the Sun
Lunae Dies' en honor a la diosa Luna, es lunes.
'Marti Dies', en honor al dios de la guerra, Marte, y es martes.
'Mercurii Dies', en honor al dios del comercio, es miércoles
'Jovis Dies', en honor a Júpiter, dios de dioses, es jueves.
'Veneris Dies', en honor a Venus, diosa del amor, es viernes.
'Saturni Dies', en honor a Saturno, dios de la agricultura, es sábado
'Solis Dies', en honor al dios Sol, es domingo
I mean in English it's
Sun
Moon
Tyr (Mars)
Odin (Mercury)
Thor (Jupiter)
Freya (No roman counterpart, arguably occupies the same function as Venus)
Saturn
I knew English names were the Nordic gods but I didn't now they equated to the Roman gods/planets. TIL
Saturn is also how we get Saturday in English.
Wednesday comes from Woden's Day, an alternative spelling of Odin's Day.
Which leads us to Thor's Day: Thursday.
I don't know where we get from Mars to Tuesday and Venus to Friday though.
Tuesday and Friday are named for Tyr and Frigg, respectively.
