Magnificent seven

The Greeks also associated the visible celestial bodies with certain days of the week. The first day was the day of Sun and it is now our Sunday, the second was the day of Moon that is now our Monday, these are easy to recognize. The third became the day of Ares, the fourth the day of Hermes, the fifth day belonged to Zeus. The sixth and seventh days were dedicated to Aphrodite and Cronus. These five days are less recognizable, hence the question: How did we get to the current names of the days of the week? Well, Saturday is also recognizable if we consider that Cronus' Roman equivalent was Saturn, hence Satur(n)day. The other days' names come to us from the English, Nordic and Germanic substitutions of the Greek and Roman gods. One such substitution in the old English vernacular was Tiu for Mars resulting in our Tuesday. Wednesday is also of old English origin coming from Wooden's day. Wooden was an Anglo-Saxon god of similar dubious reputation as Hermes and Mercury. Thor was the head god of Nordic mythology and as such the replacement for Jupiter or Zeus. The fifth day of the week hence is Thor'sday or Thursday for us now. Finally, Freya, the Nordic and Germanic goddess of love and beauty was a perfect match for Venus and Aphrodite, giving us Friday as Freya's day.
