Greek Mythology and Werewolf
Greek mythology also testifies the existence of werewolves. God Zeus once
disguised himself as a traveler and sought for
hospitality to the court
of vicious Arcadian King Lycaon. The King recognized the God and tried to
kill Him by serving him human flesh. God Zeus caught the terrible trick
and did not eat. Outraged, He destroyed the palace and condemned Lycaon
to spend rest of his life as a wolf. Most probably this mythology originated the
Greek word “Lycanthrope” which is actually synonymous to werewolf. (Greek
lykos
- wolf, and anthropos - man.) |
