Prompt
You've seen the name Neptune everywhere. The planet. NASA missions. Even a city in New Jersey. But almost nobody asks why America chose Neptune over Poseidon. Here's the truth. Poseidon was the original. The Greek god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. One of the most powerful figures on Mount Olympus. The Greeks feared him. They called him the Earth-Shaker. Then Rome conquered Greece. The Romans didn't erase Greek mythology. They rebranded it. Poseidon became Neptune. Same power. New name. Roman packaging. And that rebranding stuck for centuries. When scientists named the eighth planet in 1846, they didn't say Poseidon.
