- In Etruscan mythology, Aita was the Etruscan name for the underworld and also the corresponding anthropomorphized deity, borrowed from Greek Hades. Etruscans depicted him as a bearded male wearing a wolfskin cap. The Etruscans depicted the underworld god Hades, whom they called Aita, with a wolfskin cap, as seen above, with his snake-crowned queen Phersipnei (Persephone) on a famous wall painting from the Tomb of Orcus in Volterra, Chiusi, Italy. Between their heads is his name, AITA, in "backward"-reading Etruscan. Nowhere in Homer, or in Greek art, was Hades depicted in a wolf-skin cap or helmet. But the Greek Hades had a similar helmet, the proverbial "Aidos kune" or "Hades' helmet," created for him by the Cyclops during the war of the Olympian gods against the Titans. That helmet made the wearer invisible ("aidou", hence the name Aides or Hades, "The Invisible" or "Unseen One"). Not even the gods could see its wearer. Athena wore it, says Homer, during the Trojan war to make her invisible, even to Ares (Iliad, Book 5, lines 544-5). And, says Hesiod, Hermes borrowed it and lent it to Perseus, to make him invisible in his fight with the terrible Gorgons (The Shield of Achilles 126). The Greek word for "helmet" (kune) means "dog's hair," "dog's hide," or "dog's skin. " "Hades' helmet" was thus a dog-skin cap. And this the Etruscans turned into the wolf-skin cap or helmet of Aita. Jean-Rene Jannot, in his "La peinture etrusque," says Aita in the Tomb of Orcus is "covered in the skin" of a hybrid, a "chien loup" or wolf-hound. But most authorities call it a wolf-skin. On an ash urn from the same period as the tomb painting appears a humanized Aita, bearded and fur-capped, about to lead away into the Underworld the man whose ashes were inside the box, and whose spirit is seen on the outside passing through the portal to the world beyond. He wears the pointed metal cap of a haruspex, a wizard and seer who could foretell the future by reading patterns in the guts of animals or blasts of thunder and bolts of lightning. Now he takes his last farewell from his young wife and baby. Above them are two bare-breasted, torch-bearing female demons or "vanths" with snakes in their hair like Phersnipei in the tomb painting. Beside the door is a short-skirted female who could be Culsu, or Vanth herself, guarding the door. One of the overhead vanths points her torch down toward the mother and child. Aita, Lord of the Dead, strides toward the dead man to take him into the Underworld. He wears a beard and a fur cap, probably a wolfskin cap like that worn by Aita in the tomb painting above. On the right, the death demon Charun, wearing an animal hide, waits with his hammer and a paddle to deal the dead man the coup de grace, while above him is a dog-headed demon.
- Aita ist ein dämonischer Gott der Unterwelt aus der Mythologie der Etrusker. Angeblich hält er in seinem Reich Gericht über die Toten und lässt keine Seele mehr aus seinem finsteren Reich entkommen. Er kann in etwa mit Pluto oder Hades verglichen werden. Aita ist der Romanische Name der Göttin Agatossa, der Göttin der Güte. Somit bedeutet der Name Aita "Die Gute".
- En la mitología etrusca, Aita era el nombre que recibía el inframundo, y su correspondiente deidad antropomorfa, correspondiéndose con el dios griego Hades, y el romano Plutón. Era representado por los etruscos como un hombre con barba, que utilizaba una capa de piel de lobo.
- Aita est un dieu de la mythologie étrusque. Il est l'équivalent de Hadès dans la mythologie grecque et de Pluton dans la mythologie romaine.
- Aita o Eita è il dio etrusco dell'oltretomba. Corrisponde al dio greco Ade a al dio della mitologia romana Plutone. Il suo aspetto da lupo è acuito dalla pelle di lupo che fa da mantello e da cappuccio. Il viso è umano e barbuto.
- Aita var i etruskisk mytologi en demonisk gud i underverden og tilsvarte den greske Hades. Etruskerne avbildet Aita som skjegget mann med en ulveskinnslue. Hans hustru Phersipnei bar slangekrone, noe som kan ses på et berømt veggmaleri i Orcusgraven i Volterra, Chiusi, Italia. Mellom hodene deres er navnet hans skrevet baklengs. I romersk mytologi tilsvarer han Pluto.
- Aita, Etrüsk mitolojisinde yer altı tanrısıdır. Ona atfedilen özellikler ve insanların ona karşı tapınma biçimleri açısından Yunan mitolojisindeki Hades ve Roma mitolojisindeki Pluto ile büyük benzerlikler taşımaktadır, bir bakıma Yunan mitolojisindeki Hades'in Etrüsk mitolojisindeki hâlidir.
