Uranus (mythology) Uranus (/ËjÊÉrÉnÉs/ or /jÊËreÉªnÉs/; Ancient Greek Î¿á½ÏÎ±Î½ÏÏ, Ouranos [oËranÃ³s] meaning sky or heaven) was the primal Greek god personifying the sky. His name in Roman mythology was Caelus. In Ancient Greek literature, Uranus or Father Sky was the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth. According to Hesiod's Theogony, Uranus was conceived by Gaia alone, but other sources cite Aether as his father.
Though Uranus is visible to the naked eye like the five classical planets, it was never recognized as a planet by ancient observers because of its dimness and slow orbit. Sir William Herschel announced its discovery on March 13, 1781, expanding the known boundaries of the Solar System for the first time in history.ranus is named after the ancient Greek deity of the sky Uranus (Ancient Greek: Î¿á½ÏÎ±Î½ÏÏ), the father of Cronus (Saturn) and grandfather of Zeus (Jupiter), which in Latin became Åªranus. It is the only planet whose name is derived from a figure from Greek mythology. The adjective of Uranus is Uranian.
