In this episode, we strip away the modern Hollywood tropes of silver bullets and cinematic transformations to unearth the true, gritty history of the Werewolf. We journey back to ancient Arcadia to examine the terrifying curse of King Lycaon, Zeus' divine punishment, and the brutal reality of medieval wolf-men folklore. We analyze the psychological dread of the beast within and the historical panic of the wilderness. This is a cold, atmospheric, and definitive account of history’s most enduring shapeshifter.
