A few of the Maenads, followers of Dionysus, are seen with thyrsi.

Bacchus is shown with a thyrsus. After Percy and Jason fought Otis and Ephialtes, Bacchus finished them off with his thyrsus, reducing the twin giants to ashes. Afterwards, Bacchus states that he defeated the giants with the help of Percy and Jason.
