Tyrrhenus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Etruscan mythology, Tyrrhenus was one of the founders of the Etruscan Federation of twelve cities, along with his brother Tarchon. Herodotus[1] describes him as the saver of Etruscans, because he led them from Lydia to Etruria. His name was given to the Etruscan people by the Greek. The Romans extended this use to the sea west of Etruria: the Tyrrhenian Sea.
