Vanth is a chthonic figure in
Etruscan mythology shown in a variety of media, such as in tomb paintings and on sarcophagi,. Vanth is a female daemon in the Etruscan underworld that is often accompanied either by additional Vanth figures or by another
daemon,
Charun (later referred to as Charu). Both Vanth and
Charun are only seen in iconography beginning c. 400 BC, in the middle period of Etruscan art, although some earlier inscriptions mention her name. Vanth has no direct counterpart in Greek mythology, and is very frequently, but not always, seen winged. Although Vanth has no real Greek counterpart, she has been compared to the Greek Furies, the
Erinyes, especially in older publications, This is an unlikely association since she is almost always shown in Etruscan iconography to be a benevolent guide, not an avenging spirit, which the Furies often represent. Her other attributes include the possession of a torch, key, or scroll, and she is shown often to be bare-chested with cross-straps across her breast, adorned with fur boots, a rolled short chiton, and sometimes with unattached sleeves. In fact her dress has been attributed by Scheffer as specifically the dress of a huntress.
