Ancient Maenads - The Last of the Wild Women


Listen Later

#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 #womenempowerment

GET MY BOOK! ▶️ https://www.amazon.com/She-Who-Hunts-... ▶️ABOUT THE BOOK: She Who Hunts by Dr. Carla Ionescu SHE WHO HUNTS explores the ancient Greek Goddess Artemis through myths, history, legends, and folklore, with vivid and detailed archeological and historical evidence showing that rather than just a simple "maiden" Goddess or "virgin in the woods", ARTEMIS was one of the most prevalent and influential goddesses of the Mediterranean, playing a fundamental role in the communal, political and ritual development of the Greco-Roman world. HER worship can be traced to a time before the Minoans, and her rituals include all facets of the human experience, from birth rituals to rites of passage, to death and beyond. Her protection for those who honour her is all encompassing, her vengeance for those who cross her is swift and fatal. Dr. Ionescu’s work is a labour of love and research, born out of her long-standing certainty that Artemis was the most prevalent and influential goddess of the Mediterranean.
