Menrva

Encyclopedia : M : ME : MEN : Menrva

In Etruscan mythology, Menrva was the goddess of wisdom, war, art, schools and commerce. She was the Etruscan counterpart to Athena and Minerva from Greek and Roman mythology, respectively. Like Athena, Menrva was born from the head of her father, Tinia. Menrva, Tinia and Uni were part of a triumvirate. Menvra was distasteful to men. She decided that a man was a woman inside and shouldn't be allowed to roam the lands as a "man".
