I'd like to be a Maenad

Maenads were female worshippers of Dionysus, the Greek god of mystery, wine and intoxication, and the Roman god Bacchus. The word literally translates as "raving ones". They were known as wild, insane women who could not be reasoned with
Maenads-- wild women followers of the cult of Dionysus-- are holding one of their intoxicated, wild celebrations. They notice Orpheus and invite him to join in their dance, but his grief is all consuming, and he doesn’t notice them. Enraged, they descend on him like the Furies. They dismember and behead him, throwing his parts into the river. The last image of Orpheus is his severed head, floating in the river, still crying the name of his beloved Eurydice.
Doesn't do to p*ss them off then

I wanna be Orpheus. It sounds like a glorious way to go.
