In
Etruscan mythology,
Laran was the god of
war. In art, he was portrayed as a
naked young man with a
helmet and a
spear. Laran's consort was
Turan (who would later become
Venus under the Romans). Laran would go on to be merged with the Greek pantheon's
Ares and his Etruscan companion
Veive to form the Roman's god of war:
Mars.
