Ryuondo It's possible that the purple and blue ribbon of Venus could be related to one of the Goddess Venus' epithets. Venus Erycina. In Sicily Venus had temples built to her as the goddess of prostitution. She was the goddess of "impure love". Where blue is a primary color, a pure color, the purple is secondary. A mixture of red and blue, thus impure. It could also be that Venus was a water goddess. She was born from the blood of Uranus' castration when it mixed with water. Water is "blue" and blood is red, thus the purple. The back ribbon could represent the color of her attacks. Most are yellow orange or gold. As for Mars' front ribbon I can only speculate. The god Ares and the god Mars are both war gods. It could be that the purple is meant to represent the spilled blood during war. Speaking of Venus and Mars, I find it funny that her birds are named after the love children of Ares(Mars) and Aphrodite(Venus). Obviously they represent the moons of Mars. Uranus, the only thing I can say that represents hers is that Uranus is the sky that was the born from the Chaos before it split in two. Front one probably represents sun rise and the other probably represents dusk. Well that is interesting. But then why are the ribbons on the others the same colours? I'm interested to hear your theory.

Front one probably represents sun rise and the other probably represents dusk. Well that is interesting. But then why are the ribbons on the others the same colours? I'm interested to hear your theory.
I can only speculate.
In Latin, Pluto translates to wealth. In the roman era, wealth was gold and silver, which was mined from beneath the ground. Which is also where many people believe Hades, the Greek god equivalent to Pluto, ruled. Hades as a place, when looking directly at myth was located in Spain and Portugal, but that's beside the point. The black or brown ribbons on Pluto can represent several things. One being death as both gods, Pluto and Hades, we gods that ruled the underworld. Which the brown or black could represent. Her attacks easily point to the Greek and Roman gods.
Jupiter is a little tougher. I can't really understand why they would giver her pink ribbons. Every now and then I see an image of Zeus with a pink(or a very bright purple) aegis. Aside from making her seem more feminine. After all her opening episode had her moving to a new school because she was fighting in her old one. The only relations to the Gos Zeus and Jupiter are her attacks. If I remember correctly she also had an attack with Oak something or other in the name, or was visually represented with an oak. The oak tree is Zeus' tree.
Sailor Moon... Bear with me on this, I'm not screwing with you. The Goddess of the Moon in classical myth was Artemis, she was also goddess of the hunt among other things. One being the goddess of female blood. Be it in death or child birth or menstruation. She also is attributed to the sudden death of females and death during child birth. Sailor moon seems very fitting in that role. The majority of evil crones she fights are female. The ribbons could represent the blood spilled from a female.
As for Mercury, I have not a friggin' clue why she has light blue ribbons, or blue anything for that matter. Aside from using ice and water as her elemental powers anyway. The only real resemblance to her Greek god equivalent is that she wants to be a doctor, and the modern medical symbol is Hermes staff. "Hermes... is the Olympian god of boundaries and of the travelers who cross them, of shepherds and cowherds, of thieves and road travelers, of orators and wit, of literature and poets, of athletics, of weights and measures, of invention, of commerce in general, and of the cunning of thieves and liars." The only real resemblances I can find is that he's intelligent and so is she, as well as athletic.
Netune's ribbons are obviously blue because Neptune was the Roman's Poseidon. Both are sea god. Poseidon is Zeus's older brother and born of the titan Kronus. From the stories that feature him he only gets into a bit of trouble(Heckling Odysseus, raping Medusa in Athena's temple). So there wouldn't be much to symbolically alter the colors.

That is all very interesting and I now feel enlightened. Thank you for sharing.

I find mythology and religion to be quite interesting subjects. I left some out on Sailor Moon, as it completely escaped my mind. She more than most likely has mythological attributes from Japanese mythology as well. A subject I'm not quite as strong on as the classics. In fact, I only really know of the Japanese creation myth. And not all that much of it. I'm an Asian studies major too. gonk One easily pointed out reason is her Japanese name.
