Bacchae are female vampires who are the followers of Bacchus. They were human women who were turned into Bacchae by being bitten by another Bacchae. Gabrielle was once turned into a Bacchae and almost became one permanently. The only way for a Bacchae to become human again is for Bacchus to be killed, and only a Bacchae can kill him. Xena allowed Gabrielle to turn her into a Bacchae and then she slew Bacchus, freeing herself, Gabrielle, and all the other Bacchae from the spell.

  • The Bacchae were the bloodthirsty vampire slaves of the god Bacchus. Their only aims were to savage and kill, and seduce more Bacchae at the bidding of their god. Their old personalities and memories were totally suppressed. They consumed the blood of mortals to survive, and as long as they got at least a drop of blood each day, they could survive indefinitely. Should Bacchus die or lose his godhood, all surviving Bacchae would regain their humanity. This article is a stub, or very short article, that is most likely incomplete and needs expansion.

abstract
  • The Bacchae were the bloodthirsty vampire slaves of the god Bacchus. Their only aims were to savage and kill, and seduce more Bacchae at the bidding of their god. Their old personalities and memories were totally suppressed. They consumed the blood of mortals to survive, and as long as they got at least a drop of blood each day, they could survive indefinitely. For some time, all Bacchae were condemned to Tartarus after they were destroyed, regardless of whether they became Bacchae willingly (most did not) or whether they performed redemptive actions. To add insult to injury, the Bacchae's souls revert to their original personalities upon death, meaning that they were essentially being punished for crimes they didn't really commit. Hades was persuaded to allow redeemed Bacchae a chance at the Elysian Fields by Hercules and Eurydice. Should Bacchus die or lose his godhood, all surviving Bacchae would regain their humanity.
