The maenads were female followers of the Greek god Dionysus, known for their wild and frenzied behavior. They were often depicted as intoxicated women who would dance, sing, and engage in ecstatic rituals in worship of Dionysus. The maenads were associated with chaos, madness, and the untamed aspects of nature.
In Greek mythology, Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, did not die. He was known for his immortality and death was not part of his story. However, in some versions of his myth, he was temporarily killed and then resurrected, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life and death.
In Greek mythology, Dionysus is often portrayed as married to Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete. However, their marriage is not universally acknowledged in all myths and versions of the story. Some sources suggest that Dionysus was actually married to Aura or Aurae, the nymphs of the breezes.
Dionysus is the son of Zeus and the mortal woman, Semele. While Zeus is the king of the gods and governs various aspects of life, Dionysus is the god of wine, celebrations, and ecstasy. Despite his divine parentage, Dionysus is often associated with a more earthly and wild nature compared to Zeus.
The animal of Dionysus is the panther. Some people think his sacred animal is the leopard.
Dionysus had many children.

yes. He is the god of wine, fertility, and ecstasy. He would have rituals with maenads and satyrs in which they would go into the forest and get drunk, dances around, find animals and children, tear them apart and eat their raw flesh, and do.... sexual things.
Dionysus is the god of the grape vine harvest. he is carefree, joyful, young, empathetic and almost always drunk.
Dionysus dislikes Pentheus, Hera, and the Titans.
he is the cup bearer to the gods, creates happiness of unhappiness for mortals, and teaches them how to grow grapes and make wine
No the 12 Olympians are Aprodite Apollo, Ares Artemis Athem Hades Hephaestus Hera Hermes Hestia Poseidon and Zues
Addition:
Well, Hestia gave up her throne for Dionysus, so he was one.
So basically at first he wasn't, but now he is.
