Astra Planeta gods of the five wandering stars

The Astra Planeta were the gods of the five wandering stars. They were named Phainon (planet Saturn), Phaethon (planet Jupiter), Pyroeis (planet Mars), Eosphoros (planet Venus) and Stilbon (planet Mercury).

In ancient Greek vase painting they were depicted as youths diving into the earth-encircling river Okeanos (Oceanus) before the rising chariot of the sun-god Helios.
