Laran
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the town in France, see Laran, Hautes-Pyrénées.
In Etruscan mythology, Laran was the god of war. In art, he was portrayed as a naked young man with a helmet and a spear. Laran's consort was Turan (who would later become Venus under the Romans). Laran would go on to be merged with the Greek pantheon's Ares and his Etruscan companion Veive to form the Roman's god of war: Mars.
