![From the Wikipedia page for "maenad": "In Greek mythology, maenads (/ˈmiːnædz/ ⓘ; Ancient Greek: μαινάδες [maiˈnades]) were the female followers of Dionysus and the most significant members of his retinue, the thiasus.[1] Their name, which comes from μαίνομαι (maínomai, "to rave, to be mad; to rage, to be angry"),[2] literally translates as 'raving ones'. Maenads were known as Bassarids, Bacchae /ˈbækiː/, or Bacchantes /ˈbækənts, bəˈkænts, -ˈkɑːnts/ in Roman mythology after the penchant of the equivalent Roman god, Bacchus, to wear a bassaris or fox skin."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c7dxyrrt4btqpc6ph65sa3hb/bafkreihskpwubudl5jpkiunes3jo2peralmaulzi5upasnodaqcdm4yydq)
