How did the Greeks see planets?
Die Assoziation der Planeten mit den Göttern geht auf die Sumerer zurück. Dies wurde von den Babyloniern übernommen. Und als Alexander der Große im Jahr 330 v. Chr. Persien eroberte. Die alten Griechen lernten eine Menge über Astronomie/Astrologie.
Die Babylonier begannen die Woche bei Sonnenuntergang am Freitag. Das wurde der Tag des Kronos oder Samstag genannt. Die Juden nennen ihn den Sabbat. Es war ein guter Tag, um zu den Seelen im Hades zu beten, die friedlich gestorben waren.
Der Tag des Kronos endete bei Sonnenuntergang am Samstag. Ihm folgte der Tag des Helios oder Sonntag. Es war ein guter Tag, um einen Wahrsager aufzusuchen, eine Gunst bei einem Herrscher zu erlangen und Frieden mit Feinden zu schließen. Ihm zu Ehren wurde der Koloss von Rhodos errichtet.
Es folgte der Tag der Selene oder der Montag. Es war ein guter Tag für alles, was mit Wasser zu tun hatte. Ob auf eine Reise mit dem Schiff zu gehen, Wünschelrutengehen für Wasser, etc.
Dann war der Tag des Ares oder der Dienstag ein guter Tag, um für die Seelen zu beten, die im Kampf gefallen waren.
Dann war der Tag des Hermes oder der Mittwoch ein guter Tag, um ein Geschäft zu beginnen oder einen Diebstahl zu begehen. Denn Hermes war auch der Gott der Diebe.
Der Tag des Dias (Genitiv von Zeus) oder der Donnerstag war ein guter Tag, um Freunde zu treffen, einen Arzt zu besuchen usw.
Der Tag der Aphrodite oder Freitag war ein guter Tag für die Liebe, für die Herstellung von Liebestränken und Giften.
Planetary hours - Wikipedia
The planetary hours are an ancient system in which one of the seven classical planets is given rulership over each day and various parts of the day. Developed in Hellenistic astrology , it has possible roots in older Babylonian astrology , and it is the origin of the names of the days of the week as used in English and numerous other languages. The classical planets are Saturn , Jupiter , Mars , the Sun , Venus , Mercury and the Moon , and they take rulership over the hours in this sequence. The sequence is from slowest- to fastest-moving as the planets appear in the night sky, and so is from furthest to nearest in the planetary spheres model. This order has come to be known as the "Chaldean order". [1] Diagram showing the relationship between the Chaldean order of the classical planets (outer circle) and the order of the days of the week (heptagram) As each day is divided into 24 hours, the first hour of a day is ruled by the planet three places down in the Chaldean order from the planet ruling the first hour of the preceding day; [2] i.e. a day with its first hour ruled by the Sun (" Sunday ") is followed by a day with its first hour ruled by the Moon (" Monday "), followed by Mars (" Tuesday "), Mercury (" Wednesday "), Jupiter (" Thursday "), Venus (" Friday ") and Saturn (" Saturday "), again followed by Sunday, [3] yielding the familiar naming of the days of the week . The astrological order of the days was explained by Vettius Valens and Dio Cassius (and Chaucer gave the same explanation in his Treatise on the Astrolabe ). According to these authors, it was a principle of astrology that the heavenly bodies presided, in succession, over the hours of the day. The Ptolemaic system of planetary spheres asserts that the order of the heavenly bodies, from the farthest to the closest to the Earth is: Saturn , Jupiter , Mars , Sun , Venus , Mercury , Moon (or, objectively, the planets are ordered from slowest to fastest moving as they appear in the night sky – note however that the sun, Venus, and Mercury all advance by 360° per year, on average). [4] In astrological theory, not only the days of the week, but the hours of the day are dominated by the seven luminaries. If the first hour of a day is dominated by Saturn ( ), then the second hour is dominated by Jupiter ( ), the third by Mars ( ), and so on with the Sun ( ), Venus ( ), Mercury ( ), and the moon ( ), so that the sequence of planets repeats every seven hours. Therefore, the twenty-fifth hour, which is the first hour of the following day, is dominated by the Sun; the forty-ninth hour, which is the first hour of the next day, by the Moon. Thus, if a day is labelled by the planet which dominates its first hour, then Saturn's day is followed by the Sun's day, which is followed by the Moon's day, and so forth, as shown below. According to Vettius Valens, the first hour of the day began at sunset, which follows Greek and Babylonian convention. He also states that the light and dark halves
