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.

The English names of the week have their origins in Rome, but use names that come from Old English (which is related to Old Norse).

Sunnawas the Germanic name for Sól, Norse goddess of the Sun.Monday = dies Lunae (Luna's Day) = mōnandæg(Máni's Day): Luna was the Roman personifcation of the Moon. Máni was the German/Norse god of the Moon.Tuesday = dies Martis (Mars' Day) = Tiwesdæg (Tiw's Day): Mars was the Roman god of War. Tîw was the Germanic name for Týr, Norse god of combat, victory and heroic glory.Wednesday = dies Mercurii (Mercury's Day) = Wōdnesdæg (Wōden's Day): In this case Mercury was specifically noted as being the god of Travelers. Wōden, the Germanic name for Odin, was also patron of wanderers and travelers.Thursday = dies Iovis (Jove's Day) = Ϸunresdæg (Thunor's Day): Jove/Jupiterwas the wielder of the powerful lightning bolts. Thunor was the Germanic name for Thor, god of Thunder and Lightning.Friday = dies Veneris (Venus' Day) = Frīġedæg(Frigg's Day): Venus was the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Frigg was the Germanic name for Frejya, Norse goddess of loveSaturday = dies Saturni (Saturn's Day) = Sæternesdæg (Saturn's Day): This is the only day that didn't take on a Norse/German name, possibly because there was no equivalent to Saturn in that religion. In Old German, the day was called Sunnunaband or Sunday Eve.
