Ma, Mene, was a pre-hellenic war-goddess, worshipped in Cappadocian Komana and Komana Pontica, a colony of the former. Sulla brought this cult to Rome too.
Enyo in the Greek mythology is one of the three Graias and a relative of Ares, identified with the bloody Bellona. So it is understandable that Ma and Enyo melted together.
