In mythology Juno is Jupiter's wife, so maybe someone got it mixed up

yeah janine, i think you are right. the original 10 month calendar was based on other greek Gods and then september (7), october (8), november (9), december (10). then july (for julius caesar) and august (for augustus caesar) were added. what they told me in astronomy was that the original 7 days of the week were named after heavenly bodies, it's pretty interesting, read about it here.
