In True Blood, Maenads are seen as monsters who are supposed to sacrifice shapeshifters in order to please their god.They killed Orpheus, a relative of Apollo.Their name literally means 'raving ones', justified by their irrationally wild behavior. ![]() Some carried large twisted, wooden branches topped with a giant pine cone with some wrapped with living snakes. The Maenads wear tunic dresses of loose purple, red silk with leaves tangled in their hair, and tiny vipers adorning some of their heads. When they get overly excited, their fingernails turn into long, white talons, and their teeth elongate into wolf-like fangs. The Maenads look like teenage girls. Their skin was webbed with bright capillaries, their eyes were severely bloodshot, and their lips were redder than normal. Chiron and Argus decide to ship them off to Atlantic City, to get the partying out of their system. Leo creates a trap made with streamers and music, and traps them in a gold cage made of Hephaestus' gold netting (that originally trapped Ares and Aphrodite). They enter Bunker 9, but Piper distracts them by ordering them to dance and party. The Maenads then give chase to the three demigods, following Leo and Piper back into Bunker 9. The Maenads, however, laugh, dancing on their bare feet through the flames. On the command of Babette, the Maenads go for the "unbelievers" until Leo shoots fire at the group. When Leo pretends to be Dionysus, Babette digs deeper until the Maenads are aware that Leo is pretending. The Maenads then find Leo, Jason, and Piper and ask if one of them is Dionysus. ![]() The Maenads ripped at the drakon slowly until its spirit returned to Tartarus. Their cheerful delight turned into vicious snarling as they attacked the drakon with long, white talons and elongated wolf-like fangs. Squealing in delight, all the Maenads threw themselves at the drakon. The Maenad scolds the drakon for not being Dionysus and then insists upon the drakon joining the party. The drakon then catches the Maenad's arm in its mouth, though the Maenad demonstrates remarkable strength by pulling her arm free of the drakon's mouth along with several broken teeth. One of the Maenads hopefully asks if the drakon is Dionysus, but ends up dancing out of the way of the drakon's flames. After some time, one of the girls notice the drakon, squealing in delight and skipping toward the monster with the other girls in pursuit. While the Maenads laughed and sung each other around spinning until they became dizzy, a drakon appears though the Maenads don't seem to notice at first. The Maenads skip barefooted into a mall parking lot sized clearing in the forest while Leo Valdez, Jason Grace, and Piper McLean look for Buford. The Heroes of Olympus The Demigod Diaries Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford However, if anyone kills/destroys a Maenad, Dionysus will drive the person insane, kill them, or both. Once they were drunk, they would tear apart the bodies of those they saw disturbing in their sacred rituals in an ecstatic frenzy. Though they are his followers, Dionysus despises the Maenads. They were some of the most eccentric of Dionysus' followers and were highly devoted to him as they observed his cult following and procession as a new religious experience. As he taught men the art of cultivating vines and invited them to join the mysteries of his cult, he was accompanied by a large procession of followers, comprised of hundreds of nature spirits such as nymphs and satyrs who hailed him as a god - Eleutherios ("the liberator").Īmong them, there was a particularly rowdy group of wild and ravenous nymphs known as the Maenads. When he first created wine, Dionysus journeyed across the world seeking to introduce his intoxicating new drink to men. 2.1.1 Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford.
