QUÉ SIGNIFICA WEREWOLF EN INGLÉS

Hombre-lobo

Werewolf

Un hombre lobo, también conocido como licántropo, es un humano mitológico o folklórico con la habilidad de cambiar de forma en un lobo o una criatura híbrida parecida al lobo, ya sea a propósito o después de haber sido puesta bajo una maldición o aflicción. Las fuentes tempranas para la creencia en lycanthropy son Petronius y Gervase de Tilbury. El hombre lobo es un concepto generalizado en el folclore europeo, que existe en muchas variantes que están relacionadas por un desarrollo común de una interpretación cristiana de la mitología indoeuropea subyacente que se desarrolló durante el período medieval. Desde principios de la era moderna, las creencias de los hombres lobo también se extendieron al Nuevo Mundo con el colonialismo. La creencia en el hombre lobo se desarrolla paralelamente a la creencia en las brujas, en el curso del final de la Edad Media y el período moderno temprano. Al igual que los juicios de brujería en su conjunto, el juicio de los supuestos hombres lobo surge en lo que es ahora Suiza en el siglo 15 y se extiende por toda Europa en el 16, alcanzando su punto máximo en el 17 y subsiding por el siglo 18.

A werewolf, also known as a lycanthrope, is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf or a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction. Early sources for belief in lycanthropy are Petronius and Gervase of Tilbury. The werewolf is a widespread concept in European folklore, existing in many variants which are related by a common development of a Christian interpretation of underlying Indo-European mythology which developed during the medieval period. From the early modern period, werewolf beliefs also spread to the New World with colonialism. Belief in werewolf develops parallel to the belief in witches, in the course of the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Like the witchcraft trials as a whole, the trial of supposed werewolves emerges in what is now Switzerland in the early 15th century and spreads throughout Europe in the 16th, peaking in the 17th and subsiding by the 18th century.

If being a werewolf is really a curse, you've got to treat it honorably. If werewolves are going to carry on, there has to be an incredibly powerful force.
