Maenad

Maenad

In Greek mythology, maenads were the female followers of Dionysus and the most significant members of his retinue, the thiasus. Their name, which comes from μαίνομαι, literally translates as 'raving ones'. Maenads were known as Bassarids, Bacchae, or Bacchantes in Roman mythology after the penchant of the equivalent Roman god, Bacchus, to wear a bassaris or fox skin.
