Obverse: The detailed depiction of a Werewolf under the light of a full moon, gazing hungrily down upon an Eastern European village.Though today, many find this legend silly and unbelievable, for those who lived 100s of years ago, this was a common belief helping many of them to explain the unexplainable. It was first mentioned in a book, but over the years, it has become ingrained in peoples minds that it is the only way to kill a werewolf. It wasnt until 1935 that the idea of shooting a werewolf with a silver bullet was introduced. In Germany, they believed that by calling the werewolf by his human name would return him to his proper state. In middle eastern cultures, it was thought that one could kill a werewolf if you struck it on the head with a knife. A plant called wolfsbane was thought to be a cure from becoming a werewolf. Reeds of rye were hung on doorways to keep werewolves from entering. Rye and mistletoe were commonly used to repel werewolves. This belief led to the notion that a full moon caused a werewolf to transform. In Italy, it was believed that if someone slept outside on a Wednesday or a Friday, and the moon was full, that person would become a werewolf. Another legend claimed that just drinking rainwater from a wolf paw print was enough for the transformation. In stories from earlier times, all one had to do was wear a belt made of wolf skin. In 20 th century modern fiction, it is commonly believed that you must be bitten by a werewolf actually to become one. Just how does one become a werewolf? This also has changed throughout history. In return for these gruesome deeds, Zeus transformed Lycaon into a wolf, along with his offspring Nyctimus was restored to life.įrom the thirteenth century through the fifteenth century, and even into the 1700s it was commonly believed that creatures such as werewolves not just could exist, but did exist. Lycaon was a king of Arcadia who, in the most popular version of the myth, tested Zeus omniscience by serving him the roasted flesh of Lycaons son Nyctimus, to see whether Zeus was truly all-knowing. Though most would argue that the Werewolf originated in Eastern European Folklore in the late 1200s, there is mention made in Greek Mythology over one thousand years earlier.
