In ancient Roman mythology and religion, the Manes or Di Manes are chthonic deities sometimes thought to represent the souls of deceased loved ones. They were associated with the Lares, Genii, and Di Penates as deities (di) that pertained to domestic, local, and personal cult. They were honored during the Parentalia and Feralia in February. Latin spells of antiquity were often addressed to The Manes, who were the spirits of deceased ancestors.

- In Roman mythology, Manes were the souls of deceased family members. Manes were honored during two festivals in February: the Parentalia and the Feralia.
- The word manes is Latin and in English is pronounced MAY-neez or perhaps MAH-nays. In English the word has no singular, and so NetHack just uses manes for the singular as well. In Latin the word had a singular, manis, but this was apparently not used to refer to spirits of the dead (the NetHack sense), only to other meanings of the word. Presumably Romans used other words to refer to a single spirit. Compare lemure.
- Manes was the thirteenth Count of Sirmion and the son and heir of Constans. When his father was killed by a vampire, Manes decided he would put an end to the family tradition of death by vampire and set off on a quest accompanied by the minstrel Valerian. When Manes left Castle Sirmion, his father was freshly dead and he left behind a six year old son and heir.
- All paths of depravity end at the same place, the souls rebirth as the least of demons, Manes. A state so unbearable the entire infernal army pushes themselves onward based solely on the fear of being demoted back to this squalid position. In hell manes are marked by the sins of their life, the amorphous forms of the gluttonous, splintered bones breaking through the skin of the hateful, the larval bodies of the greedy. But in Erebus Manes are granted a form that allows them to become workers, citizens of a cruel hierarchy.
