[10] The Japanese write the katakana characters Mendo to approximate the name.  Moreover, the priest of calls the two characters miko, which means shrine maidens or spiritualists.  (Miko can also mean priestess.)  Sometimes the Japanese refer to the Maenads from classical Graeco-Roman mythology as miko.  The priest uses the term miko twice to refer to those two women.  We know the name, and we know the context.  Ms. Takeuchi decided to call the priestesses in her story the Maenads.

The Latin version of the term Maenad is Maenas.  Maenad derives from Maenas.  An inspired prophetess can be called a Maenas (i.e. a Maenad).  The prophetess Cassandra was called a maenad.
