  • Jupiter & Neptune: The Roman Gods & Their Meanings
    Neither Jupiter nor Neptune were named for a winged messenger.

    Here's why:

    * Jupiter: Named after the Roman king of the gods, equivalent to the Greek Zeus.

    * Neptune: Named after the Roman god of the sea, equivalent to the Greek Poseidon.

    The Roman god of winged messengers was Mercury, equivalent to the Greek Hermes.
