TAGES (Tages)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 356 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TAGES (Tages) , a
minor
 
Etruscan
  deity, grandson of Jupiter, and founder of the art of divination in Etruria. According to the story, during the ploughing of a
field
  near Tarquinii a being of boyish
appearance
  sprang out of the furrow. The shouts of the ploughman (Tarchon) brought to the spot all the
people
  of Etruria, whom the boy proceeded to instruct in the art of divination. Having done this, he suddenly disappeared. His instructions were for some time handed down orally, but were subsequently committed to writing, and formed the twelve books of
Tages
 , containing a
complete
 
system
  of
Etruscan
 
lore
 .
See Cicero, De Div. ii. 23;
Ovid
 , Melon. xv. 553; Festus, s.v.; Mommsen, Hist. of Rome (Eng. tr.), bk. i. ch. 12.
