'''Maegender,'''
The Maenads, AKA Bacchae, were the female followers of Dionysus. They were known for reaching a state of ecstasy through wine, orgiastic rites, and dancing, believed to bring them closer to the god. There were many myths of them tearing men apart, and in the ritual frenzy "women became men and men became women." The maenads are, in modern times, associated with female empowerment, lesbianism, sexual freedom, and gender nonconformity.
