Editing Charun (section)

==Assistants==
Charun is believed to have worked with many assistants in the Underworld, although they could be independent deities in their own right.  Most of their names are lost to us, but at least one, [[Tuchulcha]], is identified in the [[Tomb of Orcus II]], and has hair and wings like a [[Gorgon]].  Tuchulcha, whose gender is debated among scholars, appears in a depiction of the story of [[Theseus]] (known to the Etruscans as "These") visiting the underworld. These and his friend [[Peirithous]] are playing a [[board game]], attended by Tuchulcha.<ref>de Grummond, Nancy. Etruscan Myth, Sacred History and Legend. Philadelphia: University of Philadelphia Museum, 2006. pp. 229-230.</ref>

There are four Charuns shown in a fresco in the Tomb of the Charuns, and each appear to have sub-names. These are '''Charun Chunchules''', the heavily blistered '''Charun Huths''', '''Charun Lufe''', and the fourth has crumbled away to illegibility.<ref>de Grummond, Chapter X.</ref> On Laris Pulena's sarcophagus, there are also two Charuns and two [[Vanth]]s on either side of the figure in the center who is presumably Laris Pulena himself. De Grummond does not cite these figures as assistants, but believes Charun may be a type of creature rather than a singular [[demon]].

Many of Charun's other presumed assistants appear in the Tomb of the Blue Demons, which is also the home of the only Etruscan rendering of the aforementioned ferry of Charon.<ref>de Grummond, p. 230.</ref>
