I got party with the Maenads at the Met! Who’s ready to cast off gendered expectations and overthrow our oppressors?

You think they'd at least recall Bacchus and his Maenads from their childhood Narnia reading.

Right in the nuts!
#Maenads may live a frenzied life to please Bakkhos but no means no

no new episode tomorrow (Jordan was out of town) -- but.. I just did the transcription for our #maenads episode... so... maybe check that one out?! It's a fun look at the frenzied, mad, wild women who follow Dionysus (and also murder #orpheus )

More #maenads in art -- though this sculpture by #Rodin uses the #AncientRoman name Bacchante instead!

Be warned -- seeing Zeus in his full glory is... too hot to handle

Speaking of the #Maenads (the focus of our #podcast this week) -- apparently their MO (you know, literally ripping people apart) has a name -- "Sparagmos"

New #Podcast episode is out now!

We couldn't find any namesakes in astronomy for them, so this week, we did a myths & ret-constellations episode all about the #Maenads -- the "raving" "mad" followers of Dionysus (who killed Orpheus)!

Listen here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/asterism-the-maenads-in-mythology/

New #podcast episode tomorrow!

We'll be diving into the #mythology of the #Maenads (The RAVING ONES, who tore Orpheus apart -- check out this episode for more: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/lyra-myths-and-retconstellations/) -- talk tomorrow!

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology!

#Dionysos is a god of liberation and that includes #women. His most significant followers are women, the #maenads or "raving ones". They may have represented the dangers of #women left unchaperoned by male authority, suckling wild animals and tearing apart both humans and beasts. Dionysos is the Liberator and the women who follow him are free indeed.
