'''Fufluns''' is an Etruscan god of vegetation, vitality and gaiety, son of
the earth-goddess Semia. He shows many similarities with Dionysus and
Bacchus, the Greek and Roman gods of wine. The Etruscan religion was,
like Christianity and Judaism, a revealed religion. An account of the
revelation is given by Cicero (On Divination, 2.50). One day, says
the legend, in a field near the river Marta in Teruria, a strange
event occurred. A divine being rose up from the newly ploughed furrow,
a being with the appearance of a child, but with the wisdom of an old
man. The startled cry of the ploughman brought the lucomones, the
priest-kings of Etruria hurrying up to the spot. To them, the wise
child chanted the sacred doctrine, which they reverently listened to
and wrote down, so that this most precious possession could be passed
on to their successors. Immediately after the revelation, the
miraculous being fell dead and disappeared into the ploughed field.
His name was Tages, and he was believed to be the son of Genius and
grandson of the highest God, Tinia (or Iuppiter as he became known to
the Romans). This doctrine was known to the Romans as the "disciplina
etrusca".

''Ortum videamus haruspicinae; sic facillume quid habeat auctoritatis''
''iudicabimus. Tages quidam dicitur in agro Tarquiniensi, cum terra''
''araretur et sulcus altius esset impressus, exstitisse repente et eum''
''adfatus esse qui arabat. Is autem Tages, ut in libris est Etruscorum,''
''puerili specie dicitur visus, sed senili fuisse prudentia. Eius''
''adspectu cum obstipuisset bubulcus clamoremque maiorem cum admiratione''
''edidisset, concursum esse factum, totamque brevi tempore in eum locum''
''Etruriam convenisse. Tum illum plura locutum multis audientibus, qui''
''omnia verba eius exceperint litterisque mandarint. Omnem autem''
''orationem fuisse eam qua haruspicinae disciplina contineretur; eam''
''postea crevisse rebus novis cognoscendis et ad eadem illa principia''
''referendis. Haec accepimus ab ipsis, haec scripta conservant, hunc''
''fontem habent disciplinae.'' - M. Tullius Cicero, "de Divinatione" 2.50
