Mania vs. Maniae

[edit]

In Greek mythology, Mania and the Maniae are essentially the same beast/s - the personification or personifications of insanity. Like a number of other mythological beings (eg. Pseudologos & the Pseudologoi, Lyssa/Furor/Ira & the Furore/the Irae), they are variously identified as being either a single daimon (Mania) or a horde of daimons (the Maniae).

Lyssa is, incidentally, not one of the Maniae, but rather her/their sister, who works closely with her/them and shares a similar domain. The Maniae are Mania.

There is no point in dedicating two separate articles to the same mythological being. The articles should be merged. -Shoemoney2night (talk) 04:25, 17 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

As I said in reply on Talk:Mania, the Greek and Etruscan concepts shouldn't have been lumped together and conflated the way these articles do, unless genuinely reliable scholarly sources say they're definitely the same. Similar names does not guarantee identical religious beliefs in separate religions. ~~ ~2026-16672-20 (talk) 18:29, 8 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
@~2026-16672-20: Agreed. I've removed the part about the Etruscan figure from this article, and the part about the Greek figure from Mania (deity). Michael Aurel (talk) 14:29, 17 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
