Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gentile and the Jew, Vol. 2 of 2: In the Courts of the Temple of Christ: An Introduction to the History of Christianity
The Etruscan state in Central Italy comprised the Rasena, who had probably immigrated as conquerors from the north the Old subjugated population of the Umbrians, who were of kindred race with the Latins, and were anciently called Tusci, dwelling particularly in the southern parts of Etruria, between Tarquinii and Rome: and the people of the coast, of Greek origin, with the cities of Pisae, Alsium, Agylla, and Pyrgi, names which sufi'i ciently indicate they were Hellenic settlements. The Etrus cans had received art and the commencement of a literature from Greece; the connexion of Corinth with Tarquinii is well attested. The Greek element, indeed, must have been lost in the cities of the coast, which declined so early as hardly to be mentioned again after the third century b.c. But Greek in fluence is nevertheless unmistakable in the Etruscan religious system; and as the Rasena brought their own gods and notions of religion with them from the north, and adopted others from the conquered Tusci, the Etruscan religion is to be viewed as composed Of three elements. The Tusci had certain Latin and Sabine deities, either in common with these kindred tribes from the first, or receiving them afterwards at their hands.
