#greekmythology #maenad #dionysus Maenads were the "raving" wild women of the Ancient Greek and Roman world. Or were they? So much that has been shared about the ecstatic rites of Dionysius was written by ancient male authors who never witnessed theses 'savage' festivals of wild women for themselves. So much of what we know about the Bacchants of the wine god was written as backlash in response to women leaving their homes to 'rave in the woods' with wine, and dancing and (perhaps) raw flesh they consumed in their intoxication with the God. Join me, and let's discuss all the fantasy writings of men, about the secrets of uncontrollable women. #wildwomen #antlergoddess #hornedgoddess #deergoddess #archaeology #greekmythology #divinefeminine #myth #ancienthistory #goddessproject #bacchus #bacchaparty #bacchanalia #womensrites #womensfestivals #women ...
