Document Details : Title: Mutnuc, Hercle with Assistant, and Lasa on an Etruscan Bronze Mirror Author(s): VAN DER MEER, L. Bouke Journal: BABESCH Volume: 92 Date: 2017 Pages: 139-143 DOI: 10.2143/BAB.92.0.3242690 Abstract : This article addresses a scene on a mirror from Caere, now in Berlin, as the prelude to the apotheosis of Herakles. It suggests that the otherwise unknown inscribed name Mutnuc derives from the Latin Mutinus, the name of a phallic deity who is rendered here as Pan. Herakles’s position between Mutnuc and a Siren, and the presence of one or two thunderbolt symbols suggest that he is on his journey to Olympos. |
