In Etruscan Religion and mythology, Thesan is the Etruscan goddess of the dawn, divination and childbirth and was associated with the generation of life. She was identified with the Roman Aurora and Greek Eos. However, she was also interpretio graeca with Leucothea and interpretio romana with Mater Matuta. In Etruria, she received offerings together with the sun god Usil in the liber linteus. She was especially worshipped at Caere and the city’s harbor Pyrgi, where a singular series of ‘‘daybreak antefixes’’ was excavated.
