On the Commonwealth
Non-Greek maritime people of Italy, later involved in war with Rome
And first he avenged in war the wrongs of the Etruscans;
for of the barbarians themselves none were formerly maritime, save the Etruscans and the Carthaginians—the one for the sake of trade, the other of piracy.
Pythian
The historical Etruscans, defeated in the naval battle off Cumae.
I entreat you, son of Cronus, grant that the battle-shouts of the Carthaginians and Etruscans stay quietly at home, now that they have seen their arrogance bring lamentation to their ships off Cumae.
