The sourced Wikipedia account of Menrva, the Etruscan goddess corresponding to Greek Athena and Roman Minerva, citing Bonfante and Swaddling's "Etruscan Myths" (2006) for a bronze mirrorback tradition, of which several examples survive across museum collections, depicting her bursting fully formed from the head of her father Tinia, an Etruscan adaptation of the Greek birth-of-Athena myth.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Tier three: a collaboratively edited reference article citing a named scholarly monograph (Bonfante and Swaddling, Etruscan Myths, 2006) for the birth-from-Tinia motif, used here to corroborate the mirror type's subject independently of the British Museum's own catalogue entry for this specific example.
