Thalna
Etruscan · deity · classical · deity
Thalna stands at births on the backs of Etruscan mirrors, often beside Tinia, and she is paired in that repertoire with Thanr. That is the substance of what is known about her, and it is enough to place her among the birth-and-fate goddesses rather than anywhere else — some popular god-lists call her a deity of trade, a claim the images do not support and this record does not repeat. As with the other named mirror divinities, there is no temple, no festival and no narrative behind the name.
