| Summary: | Of the pre-Christian religions, the Etruscan one is certainly very complex, both in its articulation and its reconstruction, which are strongly hindered by the lack of any original literature, unlike with the Greeks and Romans. One fact is certain, namely that the Etruscan world – and with it its religiosity – experienced profound changes at the time of its impact with the Greek culture, which held a strong fascination for the Etruscans and permeated many aspects of their material and spiritual life. Mirror of this interaction is the quantity of Greek ceramics found in tombs and dwellings, and especially in Etruscan sanctuaries. The adoption not only of Greek vase shapes, but also of Greek iconographies and myths, as privileged votive objects in the Etruscan sanctuaries, strengthens the idea of a trade between the two coasts of the Mediterranean. This trade went beyond simple commercial traffic and rather constituted the path along which to convey cultural and mental concepts, which were deliberately adopted by the Etruscan culture. |
