Phobos and Deimos, the children of Ares (Mars) and Aphrodite, whose extramarital affair was exposed by Helios, the sun, and the lovers were subsequently trapped in a net by Aphrodite’s actual husband, Hefaistos (Vulcan), the god of fire, forges, and the like. The sister of Phobos and Deimos called Harmonia, is not a moon revolving around Mars – but is there any other celestial object named after her?
