Werewolf (Mythology)

## Origin

**The werewolf is a concept** that exists widely in European folklore, existing in many variants, which are related by a common development of a Christian interpretation of underlying European folklore developed during the medieval period. The Werewolf is a divine monster, Children of the Moon, is an entity capable of manifesting in reality in various ways.

The legend of the werewolf is known practically all over the world. She defines him as a being, part man, part wolf, who was cursed with lycanthropy (the act of turning into a wolf). He who is cursed, turns into a werewolf on full moon nights. Some variations of the legend say that lycanthropy was the result of a man's pact with the devil.

Once transformed into a werewolf, the person frantically searches for victims to kill them. Modern popular culture has spread the idea that the werewolf is vulnerable to the silver bullet or sharp objects also made of silver. Thus, the only way to kill him would be through objects made of this metal.

Modern popular culture is also oriented that the werewolf curse can be transmitted hereditarily, that is, from father to son, and that those who are bitten by it, and survive, also become werewolves shortly afterwards.

The legend of the werewolf emerged in Europe, and the oldest existing reports about this being led scholars to conclude that its origin is in Ancient Greece. There are different versions in Greek tradition, but one of the accounts speaks of a king named Lycaon, who reigned in a region called Arcadia and was punished by Zeus after trying to kill him.

This was because Lycaon was known to fulfill the pleasure of traveling humans who visited his domains. Zeus, then, disguised himself as a traveler, went to Arcadia and was received by Lycaon at a dinner (who was planning to kill him afterwards). The king of Arcadia offered human flesh to Zeus, who, enraged, punished him by wrapping him in a wolf forever.

The Greek origin of the werewolf even gave its name to the legend, as this being is also known as a lycanthrope, with lykos meaning wolf, and anthropos, man (in free translation). Finally, there are some studies that point out that the wolf was an animal that was worshiped in antiquity, and this cult (and legend) ended up being transmitted to Rome.

In Rome, in addition to having a cult of the wolf through a party called lupercalia, the feast of wolves, there was also the story of a man who turned into a wolf, and there he was called versipelio. As the Romans conquered a vast amount of territory, the belief in man turning into wolves followed, particularly across Europe.

The expansion of the legend made it take on new characteristics, and in each place it ended up being known by different names. In Christianized places, this being became a cursed sinner, who had in the werewolf's curse a kind of penance, until he was forgiven of his sins. If in Greece he was known as a lycanthrope, and in Rome as versipélio, in other parts of Europe he received the following names: loup-garou, in France; werewolf, among the Saxons, oboroten, for the Russians; werewolf, in the Iberian Peninsula etc. Even in Africa and Asia, the legend of the werewolf became known, although it had different characteristics on those continents.

## Werewolf Full Power

Werewolf with full power, is the Werewolf using all the power of the moon, as it shows that the Werewolf does not use 100% of his power, since the moon can end and destroy the world as said in the Vârcolac myths, "If the moon would actually be devoured, the world would come to an end." Which demonstrates that he does not use the full power, it is rather a small part of the lunar power.

**Strength** (the Werewolf with a small part of the power could destroy a mountain, since it is superior to Thiess of Kaltenbrun who can match or come very close to the power of the Devil, Devil is superior to demons who can face angel who would destroy Jerusalem sent by God, which leaves the Devil and Thies level multi-cities or cities, since Werewolf, Lycanthrope or wolf man that we use would be by the mountain, but with full power he can destroy the world or planet)
