Menady

Menadians (also bacchantas, bachanski, Μαινάδες Mainádes 'mad', Bάκχαι Bákchai, Latin Maenades, Bacchae) - 1. Greek mythology companion Dionysus; 2. Dionysus worshiper (Bacchus).
In Athens, Thracians were considered to be barbarians who were violent and uncontrollable. The ritual Dionysian Mysteries created an opportunity for the bachelors to behave similarly to obscene behavior, screams and wild dances bordering on poverty. The Menad group killed Orpheus, who, in despair after the loss of Eurydice, refused to take part in the Bachanalia. The name of the Bacchus is derived from the name Bacchus (or Bakchos), which is also the god Dionysus.
