It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday!

Fufluns or Puphluns is the #Etruscan god of plant life, happiness, wine, health, and growth in all things. He is the son of the god Tinia and Semla, who was killed by Tinia in the form of a lightning bolt. Like #Zeus, Tinia sews the infant into his thigh and later gives birth to him.
