Menrva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Etruscan mythology, Menrva was the goddess of wisdom, war, art, schools and commerce. She was the Etruscan counterpart to Greek Athena and to Roman Minerva. Like Athena, Menrva was born from the head of her father, Tinia. Her name has the "mn-" stem, linked with memory. See greek "Mnemosyne" (gr. μνημοσύνη)and "mnestis" (gr. μνῆστις): memory, remembrance, recollection.
Menrva was part of a holy triad with Tinia and Uni, equivalent to the Roman Jupiter-Juno-Minerva triad.
