Persipnei

In Etruscan mythology, Persipnei^{[pronunciation?]} or Phersipnai (later Ferspnai) was the queen of the underworld and equivalent to the Greek goddess Persephone and Roman Proserpina.^[1] Persipnei was the consort of the divine ruler of the underworld, Aita. Together, both of these deities ruled the Etruscan underworld, which was guarded by Mantus and Mania.^[2] Indeed, her name was borrowed by the Etruscans from the Greeks.
