About: Culsans

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Culsans (Culśanś) is an Etruscan deity, known from two inscriptions and a variety of iconographical material which includes coins, statuettes, and a sarcophagus. Culśanś is usually rendered as a male deity with two faces and at least two statuettes depicting him have been found in close association with city gates. These characteristics suggest that he was a protector of gateways, who could zealously watch over the gate with not one, but two pairs of eyes.

  • Culsans (Culśanś) is an Etruscan deity, known from two inscriptions and a variety of iconographical material which includes coins, statuettes, and a sarcophagus. Culśanś is usually rendered as a male deity with two faces and at least two statuettes depicting him have been found in close association with city gates. These characteristics suggest that he was a protector of gateways, who could zealously watch over the gate with not one, but two pairs of eyes. Many scholars recognize the deity Janus as a Roman equivalent to Culśanś because he is also rendered as a bifrons (two-faced god) and his divine realm also includes the protection of doorways and gates. Building on this idea, some scholars have proposed that the name Culśanś may contain an etymological root meaning “door” in Etruscan, just as Janus’s name comes from the Latin word for door, ianua. An Etruscan female deity named , whose name has the same etymological root as Culśanś, is also associated with gateways, though in her case, they are gateways of the netherworld. (en)
  • Culsans en la mitología etrusca es el dios de las puertas. Era el equivalente etrusco del dios romano Jano. De hecho, ambos eran representados bifrontes (con dos caras) y se considera que tenían similares funciones. Se distingue, sin embargo, de Jano, por la ausencia de barba y apariencia juvenil. Según el lingüista Onofrio Carruba,​ el nombre de este dios es comparable al del dios hitita Gulsant, nombre que derivaría de la raíz hitita guls, con el significado de "marcar, grabar", por lo que el dios Gulsant sería "aquel que marca", con una función parecida a la de las Parcas romanas. Relacionada con Culsans, también etimológicamente, está otra divinidad etrusca, la furia Culsu. (es)
  • Culsans, dans la mythologie étrusque, est le dieu de la conception et des portes ouvertes. Il peut être conçu comme l'équivalent du Janus latin : comme lui il a deux visages, l'un tourné vers l'avant, l'autre vers l'arrière. (fr)
  • Culsans nella mitologia etrusca è il dio delle porte. Ha molte affinità con il dio romano Giano. Infatti, vengono rappresentati entrambi bifronti e si ritiene che avessero funzioni simili. Si distingue, nell'aspetto, da Giano, per l'assenza della barba e per i lineamenti tipicamente giovanili. Secondo il linguista Onofrio Carruba, il nome di questo dio è confrontabile con quello del dio ittita Gulsant, nome che deriverebbe dalla radice ittita guls, col significato di "segnare, incidere", per cui il dio Gulsant sarebbe "colui che recide", con una funzione simile a quella delle Parche romane. Correlata a Culsans, anche etimologicamente, è un'altra divinità etrusca, la furia Culsu. (it)
  • Culsans is een figuur uit de Etruskische mythologie, hij is de god van de doorgangen (deuren, poorten...) of de scheiding tussen begin en einde. Hij heeft veel overeenkomsten met de Romeinse god Janus. Beiden hebben twee gezichten en stellen ongeveer hetzelfde voor. Het onderscheid bij Culsans is, het ene gezicht heeft een baard en het ander niet. (nl)
