Semla (mythology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Semla is the Etruscan name for the Greek goddess Semele from which she derives.
An Etruscan mirror from the 4th century BCE shows a woman inscribed as Semla holding a thyrsus and kissing the young Puphluns as he embraces her beside the presence of Apulu who holds a laurel branch. A boy with a small horsetail plays pipes.
