One of the best kept secrets out there is that many "Greek" gods are actually in Albanian not Greek.
For reasons I can only speculate academia has totally buried this fact.

2/ Aphrodite is Venus in Roman mythology. In Albanian 'Aferdite' is the name of planet Venus, or the Morning Star where 'Afer' means 'Near' & 'Dite' means Day. Linguists instead claim Aphro comes from Greek foam & no idea about 'dite' Which one u think makes more sense?
