Vulcan for Roman and Hephaestos for Greek I think
I know the name's been around since mythology. I was referring to the planet though [ 07-25-2002, 09:09 AM: Message edited by: Lord Shield ] |

An amusing thing btw. The Mystara milieu for D&D uses a solar system like ours and it calls the former-planet asteroid belt "Damocles" LOL!! |

Vulcan was a name for a tenth planet, but it was applied to a hypothetical planet that was observed *inside* mercury orbit. It appeared on stellar maps for two or three years until they realised that nobody else could match the sighting.
