Pigeons and black swans were her sacred animals, and her retinue was called the Lasas. She was also the wife of Maris. She was associated with the Greek Aphrodite and Roman Venus. Her name is a noun meaning "the act of giving" in Etruscan, based on the verb stem tur- 'to give'. She was the only Etruscan deity known to have a cult around her. ^[1]Dave 00:19, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
