"also spelt Uranus"? Really? Where? By whom? Sources? Uranus was her grandfather and is a totally different person, so far as I am aware. Can someone confirm this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brons (talk • contribs) 21:26, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

So add it. Hence the stub marker. Is Uranis named after Urania? 24.5.125.232 03:36, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, too bad kid. Anyway, no. Uranus is named after Uranus, who you'd have to actually be studying Greek mythology to know who he is. He was both the son and husband of Gaia, the Earth. Kinda weird, huh? Anyhow...actually, just read the article.

Is it worth mentioning that Urania was the muse evoked in Paradise Lost? Konamaiki 17:04, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

yes it is, I've put a short note of it in there. TheEvilPanda 17:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

It should be clarified that Milton only references Urania in the invocation to Book 7, which gives the account of creation. And he is careful to note that it is "The meaning, not the name I call." Milton's actual muse is the holy spirit of Christianity and he only uses classical allusions as useful fictions. In this case, the astronomical muse seems an adequate idea to appeal to in describing the creation of the cosmos. So, I'm going to change the sentence to reflect this User:YoMamam 22:04, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
