In Roman and Etruscan mythology, Mania (or Manea) was a goddess of the dead. She, along with Mantus, ruled the underworld. She was said to be the mother of ghosts, the undead, and other spirits of the night, as well as the Lares and the Manes. Her name links her to the Manes, Mana Genita, and Manius.〔Roger D. Woodard, ''Indo-European Sacred Space: Vedic and Roman Cult'' (University of Illinois Press, 2006), pp. 116–117.〕 Both the Greek and Latin ''Mania'' derive from PIE '' *men-'', "to think." Cognates include Ancient Greek ''menos'' ("life," "vigor") and Avestan ''mainyu'', "spirit." In Roman and Etruscan mythology, Mania (Manea) is the Goddess of Spirits. In Greek Mythology, she is the Goddess of insanity and madness. ==See also== *Mother of the Lares (Latin ''Mater Larum''), Roman chthonic goddess identified with Mania by Varro. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mania (deity)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
