Time to get the dictionary!

I am better than 2/3 of the way through Eric Metaxas' magnificent biography on Martin Luther.  Every evening I look forward to going home so I can cozy up with this book.

But I just ran across a sentence that is going to force me to grab the dictionary.  Here's the sentence:
No one wished people to be puffed up with religious pride, but neither should one invite Dionysus with his thrysus into St. Peter's to lead maenads in bacchanalian revelry.

Even spell check is questioning maenads!
