While the
names of Mercury and Saturn are virtually unchanged from their earliest
attested mention in Egypt, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus were known by other
names in earlier times. During the New Kingdom, Mars was called "Horus
of the Horizon;" Jupiter was called "Light Scatterer," "Star of the
South," and "Horus Who Bounds the Two Lands (Egypt);" and Venus was
called "The Crosser" (in the sense of a migratory bird).
