Greek:
Δεῖμος καὶ Φόβος
Deîmos kaì Phóbos
English:
Horror and Fear
Deimos and Phobos are the two moons of Mars, named after the sons of the Greek god Ares (Roman = Mars.) More from Wiki:
Deimos was discovered by Asaph Hall III at the United States Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. on 12 August 1877, at about 07:48 UTC.[a] Hall, who also discovered Phobos shortly afterwards, had been specifically searching for Martian moons at the time.
The moon is named after Deimos, a figure representing dread in Greek mythology.[10] The name was suggested by academic Henry Madan, who drew from Book XV of the Iliad, where Ares (the Roman god Mars) summons Dread (Deimos) and Fear (Phobos).
Deimos (the deity) served to represent the feelings of dread and terror that befell those before a battle, while Phobos personified feelings of fear and panic in the midst of battle.
