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.
