Minyades

By Crusader1307

The story of The Minyades (who were Sisters and Princesses of Arcadia), are often cited in Ancient Greek Mythology as an example of how not to anger The Gods. The 3 women were known for their hard work and attention to detail. They found little time to waste, ''honoring The Gods'' – as other did. It was during The Feast of Dionysus – in which great amounts of wine and ''debauchery'' abound'', that The Sisters chose to work rather than ''play''. This so angered The God that He turned them into ''Flying Rodents'' (Bats). Known as Minyades thereafter, they were said to represent a cautionary tale meant to stem the changing tide in Man choosing to use rationale thought and their own self-abilities – rather than ''believe'' in Gods and The Supernatural.
