Before the 5th century BC, Greek astronomers believed the planet
to be two separate objects: one visible only at sunrise, the other
only at sunset. In India, the planet was named Budha, after the
son of Chandra (the Moon). The Chinese, Korean, Japanese,
and Vietnamese cultures refer to the planet as the water star
based on the Five Elements. The Hebrews named it Kokhav Hamah,
"the star of the hot one" ("the hot one" being the Sun).
