Memnun (also stylized as Memrun[1]) is the Etruscan name analogous to the Latinized as Memnon , further analogous to how Epic Greek Authors described the Eithopian King, epic hero Μέμνων.[2][3][4][5]
The Etruscans had their own expansive Mythological tradition evidenced the Etruscan Mythological Figures, where Bronze mirror Etruscan (ca. 450–420 BCE) is currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, (Accession Number 22.13.84)
Etruscan art is written in the Etruscan language and not in any form or Ancient Greek or Latin which makes the study a unique subject, Memnun is the son of Thesan, (the distinctly Etruscan goddess of dawn) analogous (but distinct to Greek Ηως/Eos and distinct to Roman Aurora).
Memnun is Thesan's the son by Thinthun (Tithonus) whom Thesan abducted as a young man. The couple had two children (Memnun and his brother); Subsequently, Memnun was killed in the Trojan War after battling Achle. Thesan was so distraught that she threatened never to bring forth her "rosy-fingered' dawn [6]again. She was finally persuaded to return, but in her grief she weeps tears of dew every morning for her beloved son.
The Etruscan Mirror's displayed similar motifs as the Greek ones did about such as Memnon Pieta[7] where Thesan mourns the loss of her son.[8]
One engraved mirror illustrates Thesan's plea before Tinia (Greek Zeus) with Thethis (Thetis), the mother of Achle (Achilles) present. Both goddesses urged Tinia to spare the sons of each from death in battle but both were already doomed to die.
Relief mirrors such as the Bronze Etruscan Mirror (Accession Number: 22.139.84 ) depict Thesan carrying off the body of her dead son Memnun from the battelfield with Achle (Achile/Achilles) present.[9][10]
