June 28 - Maenads
Mother Agave, enraged,
rips off the head of son Pentheus
exiler of maenads, sucks the blood.
Strength and blind fury for this act
both are gifts of the lord of wine.
This story is wild, love the 4th line, those are some scary gifts🖤
They say we’re frenzy,
Maddened nurses of our God.
Still they watch us dance.
Love this!! The hypocrisy of those criticizing, but at the same time gawking. Well done🖤
The parthenoi dance
Ecstatically raving
Baccanal defined.
I don’t think they had to be virgins… probably the opposite 😏
Plutarch referred to them as such…and it’s such an awesome word!
It can also be translated as “warrior maiden”
Prius-erect Dionysus satyr serpent
followers writhe with psychedelic sacrificial
bull blood urine consumed—Fertility blooms. Maenads ritual, divine redemption
confers immortality.
This spilling out, like blood or wine, love it🖤
Highly irrational. I would never behave this way.
Oh gosh no, me neither 😅
Yeah, I’ve never been the party girl type. Besides, I’m already beside myself. Hee!
Their spirit lives in any woman who actually enjoys debauchery...
I feel seen👀
Seeking gifts untold,
With wine as the catalyst,
The dance had begun... 😎
And what a dance it was… great imagery🖤
It definitely was a great dance. Bruno Tonioli would've given it a Ten, for sure! Haha... 😎
