Etruscan form of the legendary hero known to the Greeks as Heracles and the Romans as Hercules, associated with strength and water. The difference between the Greek and Roman names for this figure is a result of the Etruscan influence on the Romans.

The name is in origin from Greek HÄ"raclÄ"s. | it|- | Horta | Goddess of agriculture (highly conjectural). | it tr|- | Laran | God of war.

Goddess of wisdom, war, art, schools, and commerce. The Etruscan counterpart to the Greek Athena and Roman Minerva. Like Athena, Menrva was born from the head of her father, Tinia.

Menrva found men distasteful; she decided that a man was a woman inside and shouldn't be allowed to roam the lands as a "man". | it nl ro|- | Nethuns | God of the sea. He was equivalent to Greek Poseidon and Roman Neptune. While worshipped by Etruscans, the source of the name Nethuns is non-Etruscan and most likely borrowed directly from Latin Neptunus.
