The female Etruscan divinity considered equivalent to the Greek Aphrodite or the Roman Venus and thus connected with love, beauty, and seduction. Dedications first appear in inscriptions of the sixth century BC at Veii and most notably at Gravisca, where a link has been made to prostitution and navigation. The divinity was also linked to the cult of the dead as shown by the Cannicella sanctuary at Orvieto. Turan was usually richly dressed, decked in jewelry, and sometimes winged. She was the wife of Maris and the patron of the city of Vulci. The root of her name (tur) may be connected to the act of giving. She was frequently depicted on mirrors, especially in toilet scenes, and various mythological narratives.
