Turan (goddess)

In Etruscan mythology, Turan was the goddess of love and vitality and patroness of Vulci (cur: Volci ). In art, she was usually depicted as a young winged girl. Pigeons and black swans were her sacred animals. Her retinue was called Lasas.

She was equivalent to the Roman Venus and the Greek Aphrodite.
