Catha (Cavatha, Cavtha, Cath, Cautha, and Kavtha) is a female Etruscan lunar or solar deity, who may also be connected to childbirth, and has a connection to the underworld. Catha is also the goddess of the south sanctuary at Pyrgi, Italy. She is often seen with the Etruscan god Śuri with whom she shares a cult. Catha is also frequently paired with the Etruscan god Fufluns, who is the counterpart to the Greek god Dionysus, and Pacha, the counterpart to the Roman god Bacchus. Additionally, at Pyrgi, Catha is linked with the god Aplu, the counterpart to the Greek god Apollo. Aplu may have even taken some of the characteristics of Catha when he was brought into the Etruscan religion. Giovanni Colonna has suggested that Catha is linked to the Greek Persephone since he links Catha's consort, Su

  • Στην ετρουσκική μυθολογία, η Κάουθα ή Καθ ήταν θά του ήλιου και κόρη του ίδιου του ήλιου. Ήταν θεότητα της αυγής και η αρχή των πάντων. Συμβόλιζε την ανατολή μέσα απ' τον ωκεανό και συχνά απεικονιζόταν παρομοίως. (el)
  • Cautha nella mitologia etrusca era una divinità solare, ed era lei stessa sorella del Sole. Era anche la divinità dell'alba e degli inizi, e veniva spesso rappresentata mentre sorgeva dall'oceano. (it)
