Charun
In Etruscan mythology, Charun (also spelled Charu, or Karun) acted as one of the psychopompoi of the underworld (not to be confused with the lord of the underworld, known to the Etruscans as Aita). He is often portrayed with Vanth, a winged goddess also associated with the underworld. ==Origins== His name was imported from Greek Charon,〔Nancy DeGrummond & Erika Simon, ''The Religion of the Etruscans'', 2006, p. 57.〕 although it is uncertain whether Etruscans had a native name for a god of the underworld before this. As suggested by alternations in the Etruscan language such as ''θu'' "one" changing to ''θunśna'' "first", ''lev'' "lion" (from Greek leōn) and ''Apulu'' (from Greek ''Apóllōn''), words ending in ''-n'' after ''u'' were disappearing from the language which is why we see his name spelled ''Хarun'' and later ''Хaru''.
