Janus is the god of beginnings and ends, thus the first month of the Roman calendar is named after him as January. He was originally of Etruscan mythology, but later adopted by the Romans. He has no exact counterpart in Greek mythology, because he was, as stated above, adopted from Etruscan mythology, not Greek.
