The Maenads (in ancient Greek: μαινάς [-άδος, ἡ]), also called Bacchae, Tiadi or Mimallonidi, were women in an ecstatic frenzy and possessed by Dionysus, the god of life force. More properly, the maenads were the mythological followers of the god, while the women who have historically venerated the god are called "Bacchantes".Material: Porcelain
