	MAENADS, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		The MAENADS have been reported to be able to perform miracles, for it has been said that where one of them stroke the ground with her thyrsos, there came forth a stream of wine, and when they scratched the earth with their fingers they obtained streams of milk.
		And yet it is told that the MAENADS were imprisoned by King Lycurgus 1 (known for being fond of cutting people to pieces, and for decorating his gates with their extremities), the first to oppose Dionysus 2, some say in Thrace.
		The MAENADS celebrated this god of delight with hymns, and knowing his rites and having their souls initiated in the Bacchic revels, kept their lives pure, danced in inspired frenzy, and performed holy purifications, accompanying themselves with the heavy beat of drums.

	Maenad Dances (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Dionysus Zagreus was the hunter, and the maenads were "the pack with which the god hunts." But they also had the ability to suckle baby animals, creating a parallel between them and Artemis, who was simultaneously the goddess of the hunt and the protector of all animals in the forest.
		The maenads bucked wildly in a frenzy that appears to be at least partly sexual.
		The only full step that has been reconstructed is this: the maenad advances rapidly with short steps on the half-toe for three or four steps, lightly bends on her left leg, springs vigorously, and jetés with her right leg.

		In front of him is a Maenad, who has just participated in the Dionysiac ritual of tearing apart an animal, in this case a deer and holds a bleeding leg.
		She differs from most maenads on vases in her hairstyle, which goes straight up from her forehead and is arranged stiffly around her shoulders and neck.
		The naked breasts of this maenad obviously indicate a female chorus member and, of course, in drama men portray all roles.

		Half-heard voices, snatches of piano, rumbles of thunder, birds and passing cars - outside the world carries on, while inside I lie drugged up to the eyeballs, inclined to tears, vaguely aware of the sophisticated, necessary, evils perpetrated upon my mouth.
		Christine M. Uberti (Maenad) has a medical background, and has also travelled extensively: as with her previous disc Flowers for Solomon pain never seems far away in her music, which often also has a wailing, mournful Eastern tinge to it.
		The darker side, the thin line between life and death, always lurking, comes suddenly closer with the final track of the four presented here: 'Pigs May Fly', with its references to ritual murder, Satanism, torture, blood sacrifice and "smiling corpses".

		These women worshipped the Greek god Dionysos, and, along with the notorious satyrs, formed part of the god's entourage.
		Indeed, Maenads frequently appear together with the frenzied deity of wine in both myth and art, where they are depicted holding Dionysian symbols such as the thyrsos, ivy, or grapes, and often shown wearing panther or fawn skins.
		One of our best ancient sources for the story of Dionysos and his Maenad followers is found in the Bacchae of Euripides.

		Interestingly, the human participation in the process of cosmic differentiation has been traditionally called "manas" therefore the term maenad may rightly refer to those who pursue a high faculty of mind to understand and to reunify the thoughts of the world.
		This pursuit may once have been perceived as a release of insane, orgiastic forces as in the Bacchanal.
