PHOBOS
Greek Terror God
Also known as Phobus
Terrifyingly terrible God of Conflict
A bad buddy and close companion of his famously fierce father, the War God Ares.
Now he has a moon of Mars named after him. Of course Mars is the Roman God of War, and has nothing to do with Phobos and Deimos, who are completely Greek.
This contradiction can be explained by the fact that Mr Asaph Hall, the astronomer who discovered the moons of Mars, was undergoing domestic turmoil at the time. In fact there is a rumor that he named the moons of Mars ‘Fear’ and ‘Terror’ in tribute to his formidable wife.
