Then again, the Queen did say Maryanne is extremely obsessed and ignorant to a degree that she doesn't conceive the laws of physics as other creatures.
The Queen also alluded that they were ultimately harmless because after all the havoc they cause, Maenads just kill themselves off in the end, once they are convinced that "He who comes," indeed comes and eats them or whatever. To vampires (along with other supernaturals) they really don't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.

To supernaturals who capture a Maenad's attention, and to the human friends of the supernaturals, they are a bigger deal.

Their power is all about delusion, and their downfall, according to the Queen, is as well.
