Zeus (who became Jupiter in the later Latin mythology) was the father of Ares (Mars).
Chronos (Saturn) was the father of Zeus (Jupiter).
Ouranos, son AND husband to Gaia (Earth) fathered the Titans, of which Chronos was one.
So the sequence is son - father - grand father - great-grand-father
Ares - Zeus - Chronos - Ouranos.

Well it wasn't named Uranus to start with Herschel really named it the georgum sidus in honor of king george the 3rd of england.
the name Uranus was actually composed by a german astronomer Johann Elert Bode so it could be like other planets who use mythology Uranus is the ancient Greek deity of the Heavens, the earliest supreme god.but we didn't actually start calling it Uranus until 1850
