One of the occasional readers of my Rambles blog has her own blog on
which she describes herself in her header as a bacchante.
I had to look the word up.
It seems a bacchante is either
1.
(in Myth & Legend) a priestess or female votary of Bacchus or
2.
a drunken female reveller.
What a useful word. The above is Alma-Tadema's idea of a Bacchante. I can assure you they don't look like this in Liverpool on a Saturday night.
