    There are several distinct figures in Greek mythology named Manto (Greek: Μαντώ), the most prominent being the daughter of Tiresias. The name Manto derives from Ancient Greek Mantis, "seer, prophet".

    Daughter of Tiresias

    Manto was the daughter of the prophet Tiresias and mother of Mopsus. Tiresias was a Theban oracle who, according to tradition, was changed into a woman after striking a pair of copulating snakes with a rod, and was thereafter a priestess of Hera.

    During the War of the Epigoni, a later myth relates, Manto was brought to Delphi as a war prize. Apollo sent her to Colophon to find an oracle devoted to him. She married Rhacius and gave birth to Mopsus (although by some accounts Apollo was the father). According to the Bibliotheca, she had two children by Alcmaeon-- Amphilochus and Tisiphone. In Roman myth, Manto went to Italy and gave birth to Ocnus (father: Tiberinus, the genius of the river Tiber). Ocnus founded Mantua and named it after his mother.

    It was said that Manto's abilities in prophecy were much greater than her father's.

    Mando (singer)

    Mando (Greek: Μαντώ), born Adamantia Stamatopoulou (Greek: Αδαμαντία Σταματοπούλου), is a popular Greek singer. She was born in Piraeus on 13 April 1966 and raised in Athens by her jazz pianist father, Nikos Stamatopoulos and a classic soprano opera mother, Mary Apergi.

    From a young age she began to develop her talent and interest in music, and was characterized as a "born musician". On 14 March 2010, Alpha TV ranked Mando the 23rd top-certified female artist in the nation's phonographic era (since 1960), totalling five gold records. On 21 April 2013 she participated at the Greek version of Your Face Sounds Familiar which was aired by Antenna TV Greece, where in the last episode (30 June 2013), she placed 4th. She was a special guest star in the semifinal of The Voice of greece where she and one of the participants, Maria Elena Kiriakou, sang together Beyonce's Hit Listen And she has presented her new song Poliploka from her upcoming album.

    Early life

    At the age of four Mando could easily sing operatic arias, gospel and jazz music. Her parents, astonished by her musical capability, signed her with the National Conservatory for piano and music theory lessons. Meanwhile, she took up vocal training and dance lessons. At the age of ten, Mando began to teach herself how to play the guitar and various percussion instruments. Her dedication and passion quickly led her to compose her own melodies.

    Llegas Tú

    by: Menudo

    Con el calor de una sonrisa
    Y el perfume de la brisa
    Llegas tú, llegas tú
    Pequeña como los luceros
    Y diciéndome un te quiero
    Llegas tú, llegas tú
    No sé si estás
    Pensando en realidad
    Que eres mi verdad
    Que cada día más
    Te quiero
    Ven enseñame a soñar
    Pues sabes que al marchar
    No te podré abrazar (2x)
    Si todo el mundo fuera mío
    Las estrellas ó el rocío
    Fueras tú, fueras tú
    Y dando tumbos al vacío
    Volaríamos unidos
    Porque yo, porque yo
    No sé si estás
    Pensando en realidad
    Que eres mi verdad
    Que cada día más
    Te quiero
    Ven enseñame a soñar
    Pues sabes que al marchar
    No te podré abrazar (2x)
    Te quiero
    Ven enseñame a soñar
    Pues sabes que al marchar
    No te podré abrazar (2x)
