520 The Etruscans were a people of sophisticated culture and
technology who lived in the area between Florence and
Rome. Their civilization flourished for nearly a thousand
years before being subsumed by the Roman Empire, but they
left a substantial legacy to western civilization. In
antiquity they were known as a wealthy, luxury-loving
people, fond of banqueting and music and deeply religious.
They were highly literate, but their literature has not
survived, so we turn to Etruscan art to tell us about
their mythology and beliefs. Their plentiful, spontaneous
art also tells us a great deal about their lives and about
the importance of women in their aristocratic society.
Most informative of their own distinctive and colorful
beliefs are their interpretations of scenes from Greek
mythology, reflecting the importance of goddesses and
demons in their religion, as well as scenes of the human
sacrifice they practiced.
