In Greek mythology, maenads were the female followers and worshipers of Dionysus. They were known as wild, crazy and without clear judgement.
During the rituals, they danced very freely, lasciviously, embracing the Nature's primitive forces.
They are depicted naked or wearing a deerskin, garlands of ivy and wielding a thyrsus (stick wrapped in vine branches).
