Maenad
In ancient Greek religion and myth, maenads (Ancient Greek: μαινάδες, mainádes) are the female followers and ritual participants of Dionysus who enter ecstatic frenzy to commune with the god.

Magnes
Magnes (Ancient Greek: Μάγνης, Magnēs, literally 'the magnet') is a personal name applied to several mythic men in the Greek tradition. The name functions chiefly as an eponymic and genealogical marker (not as a recurring supernatural class), most notably for a Thessalian prince who became the eponymous first king of Magnesia; other attestations include a son of Argos and a possibly mythological 'shepherd' later linked to the discovery of magnetism.
Magnes the shepherd
Magnes the shepherd is a legendary etiological figure credited in classical and medieval sources with the discovery of magnetic ore when the iron parts of his shoes and staff adhered to a rock. He functions as an eponymous origin-figure linking a person or place-name to the term for magnet and the recognition of magnetism.
