SOURCES OF EVIDENCE
Etruscan society and religion cannot be studied with the degree of precision possible for other classical cultures, since Greek and Latin authors were biased and no Etruscan literature survives. The meagre Greek and Roman references were all written several centuries after the heyday of Etruscan autonomy, and are even more distant from the era of city foundations and the establishment of famous cults. Classical authors believed that Etruscan religion was a received, scriptural doctrine (Cicero De divinatione [On Divination] 2.50) dictated to mortals by divine command; however, no fragment of the Etruscan books has yet been conclusively identified. (For main sources, see Thulin [1906] 1968; de Grummond 2006b.)
