Aita

Back to shelf
Living Etruscan grimoire portrait of Aita wearing the source-attested wolf-skin hood of Tomb of Orcus II over a fully covering dark robe.

Aita is an anthropomorphic Etruscan underworld god whose name and visual tradition reflect Greek Hades reception in fourth-century BC Etruria. He remains separate from indigenous Calu, Suri, Greek Hades, and Roman Pluto.
