MANTOUE (Ancient city) LOMBARDIA
A son of the river-god Tiber, and of Manto, daughter of Tiresias. Servius makes him the founder of Mantua, and identical with Ocnus.
Bianor, an ancient hero of the town of Mantua, was a son of Tiberis and Manto,
and was also called Ocnus or Aucnus. He is said to have built the town of Mantua,
and to have called it after his mother. According to others, Ocnus was a son or
brother of Auletes, the founder of Perusia, and emigrated to Gaul, where he built
Cesena. (Serv. ad Virg. Ecl. ix. 60, Aen. x. 198.)
Manto. A daughter of Heracles, is likewise described as a prophetess, and as the personage from whom the town of Mantua received its name. (Serv. ad Aen. x. 198.)
