Join World History Encyclopedia as they talk to Daniel Ogden, the author of 'The Werewolf in the Ancient World.' Where did the concept of the werewolf originate from? Why did they always turn in to wolves? Daniel will be answering these questions and much more, along with telling us some of his favourite werewolf stories from Ancient Greece and Rome! The werewolf has a long and continuous history that can be traced back to the ancient world, at least as far back as Herodotus!
