Semla (mythology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Semla is the Etruscan name for the Greek goddess Semele from which she derives. Her name is sometimes spelled Semia.
An Etruscan bronze mirror from the 4th century BCE depicts a woman, labeled as Semla, holding a thyrsus and kissing the young Puphluns as he embraces her. The god Apulu (Apollo) stands by holding a laurel branch. A boy-silenus with a small horsetail plays pipes.
