Menade

Pohotni satir i Menada, vaza

Menade (grč. Μαινάδες, Mainádes) su vrsta grčkih nimfi. Njihovo ime znači "mahnite", "pomamne", a zovu se i Basaride, a u rimskoj mitologiji Bakhantice. Menade postoje u mitologiji, ali su Grčkom lutale i ljudske Menade.

Mitologija

Menade su divlje i lude nimfe koje lutaju brdima i šumama, štovajući boga vina Dionisa. Kada naiđu na ljude, ubijaju ih ako im se ne pridruže u plesu. Odjevene su u lanenu kožu, a na glavi im je bršljan. Štite Dionisa, a okupljaju se i na Parnasu. Njihovo se ponašanje može objasniti alkoholom. Menade su bile lijepe i ljubomorne pa su ubile Orfeja kad ih nije hti pogledati dok je patio za Euridikom. Tebanske Menade su ubile kralja Tebe - Penteja, nakon što je zabranio štovanje Dionisa. Dionis je pronašao Menade kad se vratio iz Indije, svidjele su mu se, pa ih je poveo sa sobom. Menade se upuštaju u seks i sakaćivanje.
