Zeus, man.

One of the things that Zeus has done.

It's pretty wild.

Right.

That's a whole episode.

Yeah.

But it also makes me think, too, like, you know, you know, people would maybe they would carve out the head of a wolf or maybe like a bear, you know, the half a bear where the top half or something like that or like where the pelt of a wolf.

Mm hmm.

So maybe there's a group of people that did that.

People like all those are wolf people and they.

glorified that so here he's being you know turning into a wolf running away but this also makes me think of whether the people that just wear the pelts on their heads and it's like yes you know there's that whole thing too absolutely yeah i'm going to talk about that a little bit when we get into the history i believe i have some notes on that but to get to it you're totally right

There are cultures that don the pelts of various predator creatures, bears, wolves and things and take on a very similar characteristic, whether it be stealthily sneaking through the brush to surprise attack or to attack with a truly rage based kind of energy.

You know, it's imbibing the energy or the spirit of that animal.

You're totally right.

Totally right.

One more piece of kind of mythology here as we pivot to Norse.

It's so interesting, and these are my two favorite pieces of mythology, including Egyptian, Greek, and Norse.

It's amazing to see that, again, these themes continue very strongly throughout especially European culture.

So like I said, werewolves can be seen in early Nordic folklore.

The saga of the Volsungs is a tale of a father and son, Sigmund and Sinfjotli, hopefully I'm saying that properly, who discovered a pair of magical kind of pelts or wolf skins.
