Tagès

Tagès , Etruscan god, adopted by the Romans, largest of the soothsayers.

It left one day a lump of earth, under the plow of a plowman, around Tarquinies. Its size was that of a dwarf, but as of its birth it made hear words of a deep wisdom: it is him which taught with the Etrusque S the divination and the science of the auspices. Prophetic books were allotted to him. He taught the art of reading the future in the entrails of a sacrificed animal.
