Not illustrated. 1855 Excerpt: ... 255.) It may be reasonably assumed that the names Etruria, Etrusci, and Tusci, were appellations applied by the natives to the inhabitants of the centre and west of Italy, who infested the Italian and Sicilian waters with their piracies. In forming proper names, slight resemblances of sound were sufficient to satisfy the Greeks, and it is not an improbable conjecture that the early Ionian navigators may have applied to the Etrurians their own ethnic namo, Twpo-ijvoi or Tvppijvoi, as a near approximation to the native name. The historical theories which connected the Italian Etruscans with the Greek Pelasgians may then have been founded on this accidental coincidence. Euripides, Med. 1342, 1359, who applied the epithet Tyrrhenian to Scylla; 1and says that she inhabited the Tyrrhenian plain, uses the word as equivalent to Italian. Compare Hesiod, Theog. 1015; Herod, i. 163; Thuc. vii. 53,4; Strab. v. 2, 2. The Latin Turs-cu. according to the form in the Eugubian tables, which is itself very close to Etrus-cus, is faithfully represented by Tupff-ijfoc, the ancient Greek form: as Schwegler has remarked. The language of the Rha;ti in northern Italy resembled that of the Etruscans, and they were hence considered by the ancients as a remnant of the Etruscan nation in its original extension over the valley of the Po, and as far as the Alps. See Schwegler, ib. p. 268; Donaldson's Varronianus, p. 17, ed 2. (53) See Pausan. viii. 43. Pallas, the son of Lycaon, founded Pallantium, Paus. viii. 3, 1; Hesiod. ap. Steph. Byz. in naXXdvriov. A temple and statue of Pallas were at Pallantium; ib. viii. 43, 5; also a statue of Evander. Antoninus Pius made Pallantium a libera civitas, and gave it freedom from taxation, on account of its being the birthplace of Ev...
