What is the mythology of Friday?

Our word Friday, like most of the days of the week in English, has roots in Roman and Germanic mythology. Rome established a system of trade all across Europe that was eventually taken over in part by the Germanic invaders. A system of days of the week had to be universal in order to work, so the Germans took the Roman system and applied their own analogs. Friday is "dies Veneris" in Latin, or Venus' Day. Venus, as you know, is the Roman goddess of beauty. Her analog in Germanic myth is Frigg, or Frejya. So, in German areas, Venus' Day became Frigg's Day, or Friday.
