![]() Werewolves also emerged in early Nordic folklore. As punishment, the enraged Zeus turned Lycaon and his sons into wolves. According to the legend, Lycaon, the son of Pelasgus, angered the god Zeus when he served him a meal made from the remains of a sacrificed boy. Werewolves made another early appearance in Greek mythology with the Legend of Lycaon. Some scholars believe the werewolf made its debut in The Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest known Western prose, when Gilgamesh jilted a potential lover because she had turned her previous mate into a wolf. It’s unclear exactly when and where the werewolf legend originated.
