The goddess, "Venus" was a Roman entity. There originally was no equal goddess in Greek mythology, though one goddess whose attributes overlapped those of Venus was Aphrodite (aff-roe-DYE-tee).

Somewhere along the line of history, the attributes of Aphrodite were added to those of Venus, and after that the two goddesses were thought of as being identical.

So, we can safely say that the Greek name for the Planet Venus is Planet Aphrodite.
