[quote=Anonymous]GREAT post, 15:04!  My question for OP:  What are you trying to do with this information?  The reason I ask is because, as 15:04 noted, it's uncommon to have a work dedicated to the Maenads.  I'd have to do some research to see if there are any.  I've not seen any transliterations from Greek into Latin and, again, would have to research to find any. However, if you're really looking for something dedicated to a Muse, that's much easier/more common.

Two come immediately to mind - the openings of the Iliad and Odyssey:

Iliad

[i]The wrath sing, goddess, of Peleus' son, Achilles, that destructive wrath which brought countless woes upon the Achaeans, and sent forth to Hades many valiant souls of heroes, and made them themselves spoil for dogs and every bird;[/i]

Odyssey
https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0136#:~:text=%5B1%5D%20Tell%20me%2C%20O,the%20return%20of%20his%20comrades.
[i]Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy.[/i]
