Maenad Merch

Description: In Greek mythology, maenads were the female followers and worshipers of Dionysus and the most significant members of its retinue. I created this design out of a 4th Century BC red figure Greek vase from Etruria.

Description: In Greek mythology, the maenads were female followers of Dionysus and the most significant members of the Thiasus, the god's retinue. Their name literally translates as "raving ones". Maenads were known as Bacchantes by the Romans. They are often portrayed in a state of ecstatic frenzy brought by a combination of dancing and intoxication. During these rites, they would carry a thyrsus, a long stick wrapped in ivy or vine leaves and tipped with a pine cone. They would weave ivy-wreaths around their heads and often handle or wear snakes.
