What about in the old myths where Pluto, Neptune, Mars were used as god's names? Weren't they referring to the planets back then?
Other way around.
Well, that explains everything. Thanks.
That said, some planets that are visible with the naked eye have been long associated with deities. Notably Venus (sometimes called the Morningstar) was associated with beauty/love goddesses including Venus/Aphrodite and Ishtar/Inanna.
