Arcadia, a mountain pastoral area in ancient Greece, is famous for the simplicity and tranquility of its residents, and later became synonymous with "Xanadu".

Some stories say that Laikaon was a cruel king, and some stories say that Laikaon was a good king, but his sons were godless.

All in all, Zeus was furious at his poor hospitality when he went to Arcadia, and turned Laikaon into a wolf.

Banished in the eighteenth century, the Acadians emigrated to the United States and lived in southern Alabama and southeastern Mississippi. They were a mixture of white, black, and Indian ancestry, and they called werewolves "Loup-garou."

Although there are many myths and legends about werewolves circulating among the people, this theme has not achieved much in terms of literature and art. Unlike vampires, there is a "Vampire Count Dracula" as the cornerstone of modern vampires. The only thing worthy of praise is that A 1933 novel called The Werewolves of Paris by Gail Endole.

And the living corpse in the Greek concept has changed since the eleventh century.

Etymologically the word comes from Slavic and means werewolf.

So in the Balkans and the Carpathians at that time, people used the same word to refer to harmless zombies and dangerous werewolves.

For example, on October 19, 1216, King John Lakeland of England was poisoned by a monk and eventually died.

It is believed that the poison contains wolf's head grass, which means that the poisoner will turn into a werewolf.

It wasn't long before various howls were heard from his tomb, and the terrified inhabitants dragged the corpse out to rot.

But soon after, someone claimed to have seen the king who had turned into a werewolf walking through the forest.

The 15th-century Hungarian king Sigismund, who was later the head of the Germanic dynasty of the Holy Roman Empire, prompted the church to officially recognize the existence of werewolves at the ecumenical council in 1414.

By the sixteenth century, the legend of werewolves had spread all over Europe, and the Roman Church decided to launch an official investigation. From 1520 to the middle of the seventeenth century, there were about tens of thousands of cases of wolf delusional patients in Europe, the largest number. France, and Serbia, Bohemia and Hungary in Eastern Europe.

The legend about werewolves was born under this circumstance. As for the superstition that werewolves have human appearance but can turn into wolves, it can be traced back to medieval mythology.

By the beginning of the Middle Ages, Europeans were no longer unfamiliar with werewolves. The Roman Inquisition at that time considered Jews, Protestants, witches, and werewolves to be pagans.

Among these pagan devils, werewolves are considered to be the most dangerous, because they were once human beings, so they especially hate other normal human beings. Their main prey and food are the humans around them and their livestock.

Because of werewolves and their ferocity, their victims are often severely damaged.

Guided by the Church's official ruling, fear of the werewolf has grown to hysterical levels: Thousands of people have been beaten to confess their crimes, and these "sinners" are usually sentenced to be burned at the stake.

In the 16th century, some 30,000 people identified as werewolves or vampires were burned alive in France alone.

At the time, people thought werewolves were easy to identify, with their linked eyebrows, hairy palms, and their very withdrawn personalities, like a hermit and so on.

From this, it can be seen that the abnormal-looking genetically ill patients, the albinos who were particularly sensitive to sunlight, and some lost, abandoned and adopted wild children in European society at that time all fell victim to the brutal policies of the church.

Superstitions intensified, and by the end of the seventeenth century rumors had spread about werewolves that they would turn into blood-sucking zombies when they died.

For a time, rumors about vampires and their victims appeared one after another in Silesia, Bohemia, Poland, Hungary, Moldova, and Russia.
