Thesan sweeps Tinthun into the sky in her winged embrace, the dawn goddess carrying her mortal beloved upward on Etruscan mirrors that mirror the Greek tale of Eos and Tithonus.
Ushas, Eos, Aurora, Thesan, and Eostre are the Vedic, Greek, Roman, Etruscan, and Germanic dawn goddesses — all descending from the Proto-Indo-European *H̥̥́ewsōs, the divine dawn who drives darkness before her and heralds the sun's daily rise.
Usil and Thesan appear together on Etruscan mirrors, the dawn goddess heralding the sun god's radiant ascent from the sea each morning.
