Planet Names and Greek Mythology

1.Mercury (Hermes) is the god of commerce, travel and thievery in Roman mythology.
                               Named for the winged Roman god of travel because it appears to move so swiftly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.Venus (Aphrodite) is the Roman goddess of love and beauty. The planet is aptly named since it makes a beautiful sight in the sky, with only the Sun and the Moon being brighter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.Earth (Gaia) is the only planet whose English name does not derive from Greek/Roman mythology. The name derives from Old English and Germanic. There are, of course, many other names for our planet in other languages.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.Jupiter (Zeus) was the King of the Gods in Roman mythology, making the name a good choice for what is by far the largest planet in our solar system.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.Mars (Ares) is the Roman god of War. The planet probably got this name due to its red color.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.Saturn (Cronus) is the Roman god of agriculture.
7.Uranus is the ancient Roman deity of the Heavens, the earliest supreme god.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.Neptune (Poseidon)was the Roman god of the Sea. Given the beautiful blue color of this planet, the name is an excellent choice!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.Pluto (Hades) is the Roman god of the underworld in Roman mythology. Perhaps the planet received this name because it's so far from the Sun that it is in perpetual darkness.

※red herring
A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important issue.It may be either a logical fallacy or a literary device that leads readers or audiences towards a false conclusion. A red herring might be intentionally used, such as in mystery fiction or as part of rhetorical strategies , or it could be inadvertently used during argumentation.

The origin of the expression is unknown. Conventional wisdom has long supposed it to be the use of a kipper (a strong-smelling smoked fish) to train hounds to follow a scent, or to divert them from the correct route when hunting; however, modern linguistic research suggests that the term was probably invented in 1807 by English polemicist William Cobbett, referring to one occasion on which he had supposedly used a kipper to divert hounds from chasing a hare, and was never an actual practice of hunters. The phrase was later borrowed to provide a formal name for the logical fallacy and literary device.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
※foreshadowing
Meaning:
Foreshadowing or guessing ahead is a literary device by which an author hints what is to come. Foreshadowing is a dramatic device in which an important plot-point is mentioned early in the story and will return in a more significant way. It is used to avoid disappointment. It is also sometimes used to arouse the reader.

It often appears at the beginning of a story or a chapter and helps the reader develop expectations about the coming events in a story. There are various ways of creating a foreshadowing. A writer may use dialogues of characters to hint at what may occur in future. In addition, any event or action in the story may throw a hint to the readers about future events or action. Even a title of a work or a chapter title can act as a clue that suggests what is going to happen. Foreshadowing in fiction creates an atmosphere of suspense in a story so that the readers are interested to know more.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function of Foreshadowing
Generally, the function of foreshadowing is to build anticipation in the minds of readers about what might happen next and thus adding dramatic tension to a story. It is deliberately employed to create suspense in mystery novels, usually by giving false clues or “red herrings” to distract readers.

Moreover, foreshadowing can make extraordinary and bizarre events appear credible as the events are predicted beforehand, so that readers are mentally prepared for them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
※flash forward
Meaning:A flash-forward (or sometimes known as a flash-ahead) in a narrative occurs when the primary sequence of events in a story is interrupted by the interjection of a scene representing an event expected, projected, or imagined to occur at a later time. The flash-forward technique is used less frequently than its reverse, the flashback, or the flash-sideways.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function of Flash-Forward
Flash-forward enables a writer to give logical explanations to the actions of the characters in a narrative. The character’s actions make more sense to the readers – after having developed a greater understanding of the character and the character’s personality.

Moreover, flash-forward grabs the readers’ interest in the current events of the narrative to see how the story develops towards the future that has already been shown to them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
★Difference between Flash-Forward and Foreshadowing
Flash-forward is similar to foreshadowing. However, foreshadowing hints at the possible outcome in future without any interruption and using events or dialogues of characters in the current time. It may also be present in the titles of narratives or chapter titles.
 Flash-forward, on the other hand, is an interjected scene in a narrative that takes the narrative forward in time. The events presented in a flash-forward are bound to happen in the story. Foreshadowing predicts the future events, but the events do not necessarily take place in the future – as in “red-herring”.
