Thesan
In Etruscan mythology, Thesan was the Etruscan Goddess of the dawn, divination and childbirth (as well as a love-goddess)and was associated with the generation of life. She was identified with the Roman Aurora and Greek Eos.
==Etymology==
She was depicted on several Etruscan mirror backs, bearing, like many other Etruscan Goddesses, a great pair of wings from her back, especially appropriate to a Sky-Goddess. One meaning of Her name is simply "Dawn", and related words are thesi, meaning "illumination", and thesviti, "clear or famous". The other meaning of her name connects her with the ability to see the future, for thesan also means "divination", as seen in the related Etruscan word thesanthei, "divining" or "brilliant". This relates to Her function as a Dawn Goddess-for as the dawn illuminates what was previously dark, so divination throws light on the dark future and enables one to see what may happen. She was called by some as a childbirth goddess, as she was present at the beginning of the day, which finds its parallel in the beginning of a new baby's life. Similarly, the Roman goddess of Light and Childbirth, Lucina, brought the infant into the light of the world.
