A Balinese dancer wearing the mask of Rangda (1929).

These female demons have much in common. They are all described as physically hideous, anti-mothers in one way or another, and they are all childless or give birth in abnormal ways. They are dangerous and threaten humans with both diseases and death. But they were not always demons.

For most of human history the world was a very dangerous place. What was unknown, or not understood, could result in death.

In Xenophon’s Symposium there were two dancers performing Ariadne and Dionysos’ love affair in the final scene. The dancers, a boy and a girl, so vividly demonstrated the emotional state that, after the set, the crowd of Athenian men who made up their audience, rushed back home to their wives, and those who were not married swore that they would find a wife or lover to rush home to as soon as possible. In other words, the emotional state that the dancers portrayed was passed to the audience and felt vividly.
