In English, much of the literature concerning the allegorical and philosophical reading of Homer and Greek myths in general was translated by Thomas Taylor. There is no better account of it.
But the correspondences between Greek gods and planets is not at all a straightforward matter; it is as complicated as Greek festivals and calendars where every polis has a different system and there is very little that is Panhellenic. Lunar deities are especially complex.
The question is what strata of Greek myth might have found its way into the Voynich MS? In the historical context, one suspects it would be Neoplatonic, Proclus, Iamblichus and so on, either directly or indirectly.
