Description:August 24, Bacchanal: In recent episodes taken from the book the Living Dead in Dallas , there has been a maenad "maened" for the spelling-challenged character who throws crazy "nature" orgies with the local townsfolk. Maenads were the drunken female followers of Dionysus, the god of wine and divine madness. The term "bacchanal," or "bacchanalia," essentially means "divine orgy" and comes from the name Bacchus, the Roman version of Dionysus. So technically the Greek versions of these orgies weren't called bacchanals, but are instead are referred to as the "Dionysian Mysteries". The Dionysian Mysteries were holy rituals which used various intoxicants and other trance-inducing techniques, such as dancing, music, and sex to remove inhibitions and break down artificial social constraints, thus liberating the followers of Dionysus, allowing them to return to a more primitive, natural, and blissful state of consciousness.
