It is well enough known that readers of English enjoy unimpeded access to 'the greatest book written about the Etruscans' in George Dennis'sCities and cemeteries of Etruria(Strong, 1968, 140). Well enough known: but not entirely true. Dennis's references to the Etruscans themselves have rather less evocative charm and lasting value than his guide to their country: 'he (and his contemporaries) got thehistoryhopelessly wrong' (Finley, 1972, III; and see Dennis himself, 1893, on Phoenicians in America
