Artwork description

Ménade bailando. Copia romana (120-140 d.C.) de un relieve griego ejecutado en Atenas atribuído tradicionalmente a Calímaco, del siglo V a.C. En el Museo del Prado (Madrid, España)
En la mitología griega, las Ménades son seres femeninos divinos estrechamente relacionados con el dios Dioniso (Baco para los romanos), dios supuestamente originario de Tracia y Frigia. Las primeras ménades fueron las ninfas que se encargaron de la crianza de Dioniso, y que posteriormente fueron poseídas por él, quien les inspiró una locura mística. Esto las contrapone a las Bacantes o Basárides, mujeres mortales que emulan a las ménades, que se dedican al culto orgiástico de Dionisios. En muchas fuentes Ménades y Bacantes son sinónimos, entendiéndose por Bacante la acepción latina de Ménade.
