==Etruscan Kastur and Pultuce== The [[Etruscans]] venerated the twins as ''Kastur'' and ''Pultuce'', collectively as the ''tinas cliniiaras'', "Sons of [[Tinia]]", Etruscan counterpart of Zeus. They were often portrayed on Etruscan mirrors.<ref>{{Citation | first1 = Giuliano | last1 = Bonfante | author-link = Giuliano Bonfante | first2 = Larissa | last2 = Bonfante | author2-link = Larissa Bonfante | title = The Etruscan Language | page = 204 | publisher = Manchester University Press | year = 2002 | isbn = 0-7190-5540-7}}.</ref> As was the fashion in Greece, they could also be portrayed symbolically; one example is seen in the [[Tomba del Letto Funebre|Tomb of the Funereal Bed]] at [[Tarquinia]] where a ''[[lectisternium]]'' is painted for them. Another is symbolised in a painting depicted as two pointed caps crowned with laurel, referring to the [[Phrygian cap]]s.<ref>{{Citation | first1 = Nancy Thomson | last1 = de Grummond | first2 = Erika | last2 = Simon | title = The Religion of the Etruscans | page = 60 | publisher = University of Texas Press | year = 2006 | isbn = 0-292-70687-1}}.</ref>
