magnificentbeast Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 My understanding is in Greece during the classical period maenadism rituals were a documented reality. The kind in which every couple of years women paraded out to some secluded spot, and let their hair down, dancing; jumping; yelling until they basically passed out. But, I can't find anything about when this stopped happening. Was this particular ritual still taking place in Roman controlled Greece? Did Romans ever participate in this ritual? Did Greeks continue to do this after the classical era? All I can find about female Roman Dionysus/Bacchus worship is stuff about the cult of Dionysus, which seems to be a totally different Roman thing with both men and women (sex cult?)
