No I am NOT a Maenad... a Maenad was a human... I wouldn't be surprised if a Maenad was the whore of Babylon trying to steal the husband of a Goddess. I'm like Hella waiting for Thor. #maenad #whoreofbyzantium

Have a joyful #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
"Argaeus, whose force was very small, directed the Macedonian young women, as the enemy advanced, to show themselves from mount Ereboea. They accordingly did so; and in a numerous body they poured down from the mountain, their faces covered by wreaths, and brandishing their thyrsi instead of spears."

I'm going to the theatre tonight, so I'm sharing the mons veneris of a #maenad for #FannyFriday today, who belongs to the joyful retinue of the God of Theatre himself, Dionysos.
She is accompanied by a satyr friend who may have just gotten the brush-off.

Dionysos Liknites, “Dionysos of the Winnowing-fan” is an epithet of #Dionysos because at birth he is said to have been laid on a winnowing-fan. Placing newborn children in winnowing-fans is “an omen of wealth and fruitfulness”.
Hermes, too, was "laid in swaddling-bands on the winnowing fan".🏛️ Terracotta relief of a dancing #Maenad and #Satyr with baby #Bacchus (Dionysos)

In Orphism, a cosmic egg is the source of the universe from which the primordial deity Phanes hatched who is equated, among others, with Bromios, another name of #Dionysos.
