Athens
The goddess named for Mars is Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty.
Venus was named after a goddess named Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
The dwarf planets are named after mythological figures. For example, Pluto is named after the Roman god of the underworld, Ceres is named after the Roman goddess of agriculture, Haumea is named after the Hawaiian goddess of childbirth, and Makemake is named after the creator god of the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island.
The name 'Palladium' comes from the ancient city of Troy, where a statue of the goddess Pallas Athena, called the Palladium, was believed to protect the city. Palladium is also a rare silver-white metal named after the goddess Athena's epithet, Pallas.
Diana was initially just a hunting goddess but later, for whatever reason, she became a moon goddess. This supplanted Selene, the original moon goddess. So Diana was never named after a planet but our Moon.
In Attica, the city named after a goddess is Athens.

"Whether the goddess was named after the city or the city after the goddess is an ancient dispute" (Burkert 1985:139)

There is no country named Attica. Attica State Prison is in Attica, New York. The word Attica is never used in the Book of Mormon. Seeing as two of these do not exist and one does, they don't really have any distinction or similarity.
