In the Greek Mythologie, Manto is the girl of the famous soothsayer of Thèbes Tirésias that Ulysses went to consult in beyond the life. When Thèbes capitulated to the Épigones, it was taken along to Delphes near Apollon. Certain that she had inherited the exceptional gifts of her father, the god entrusted to him one of his clean oracle S, with Claros, in Asia Mineure. It conceived Mopsos its connection with the god.

Héraclès had a girl who also prénommait Manto, and which was the guardian goddess of the town of Mantova (Mantoue), in Italy.
