Spirits, gods, angels, demons, heroes, demigods, civilizing heroes, and observers liked to identify themselves with planets or constellations, and natural phenomena. According to Philo the Byblian Histories, Hermes Mercury instructed the conflation of myths, legends, and history. He also founded the mysteries and introduced the cult of veneration of snakes and dragons (the Masons adopted the trick of symbols with unclear meanings (simulacra and simulation) and allegories).
And yes, the ancients didn't know about Pluto.
Secondly, Nergal Melqart was such an unusual god that it's wrong to simply consider him Mars.
Boaz and Yahin = the Pillars of Hercules Melqart. Two pillars are a symbol of Hercules. He also saw two pillars with unknown symbols in the temple of Melqart (Baal, Balaram in India. Don't believe me? There was a city called Amrita in Phoenicia with healing springs).
Solomon's Temple was built by Hiram of Phoenicia.
