In Greek mythology, maenads were the female followers of Dionysus and the most significant members of the Thiasus, the god's retinue. Their name 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.
Often the maenads were portrayed as inspired by Dionysus into a state of ecstatic frenzy through a combination of dancing and intoxication.During these rites, the maenads would dress in fawn skins and carry a thyrsus, a long stick wrapped in ivy or vine leaves and tipped with a pine cone. They would weave ivy-wreaths around their heads or wear a bull helmet in honor of their god, and often handle or wear snakes.

The dancing Maenads were out-of-stock for a while, and when they were back in stock I ordered both of them immediately! That is how wonderful this workshop is! Everything that they create is museum-accurate, the works of art are well-crafted and use the best materials. Each of my orders have been carefully packed. Their artworks are exceptional and sell out fast as a result. My Maenad order arrived quickly and in pristine condition as always. They are superb! The photos are always accurate. This is a marvelous seller and I love doing business with them. I highly recommend this seller! Thank you for making each transaction a pleasure! Sincerely, Debra Little
