First things first... I have a question. How can the name be Tages in
Etruscan? Is this a Hellenized or Latinized version of the Etruscan name?
Has the name Tages actually been found in Etruscan texts in this form or is
this a second-hand "mundus" phenom. I have an issue with the -g- and yet all
I see is "Tages" this and "Tages" that.
