Etruscan Mythology
Etruscan Mythology: The Complete Guide to Tinia, Uni, Menrva, and the Lost Religion of Italy
Tinia, Uni, Menrva, and Lost Italy
Before Rome, Italy belonged to the Etruscans: a people who read the future in lightning and livers, buried their dead in painted cities, and whose gods Rome quietly adopted. A mythology recovered from tombs, bronze mirrors, and the discipline of the haruspex.
