Hercules

while here in Italy me and Daisy have become fascinated with the Etruscan civilization and have been reading a lot about it

the Etruscan's were a group of people living in Italy arond the time of the Romans. In fact, the romans were very influenced by them, who in turn were very influenced by the Greeks

one of the fascinating things about them is that they treated their women as equals, and many of their tombs show a husband and wife together

most of what we know about them comes from their tombs, because after the romans conquered them, they wiped out most of their culture and rebult over them

Hercules what a favorite of the Etruscans. They elaborated on many of his stories and added to them
