Werewolves are an ancient idea, but the meaning and beliefs around the concept have changed over time. How were they viewed in the classical world and even earlier? Find out in this week's episode as we interview Dr. Tanika Koosmen.

Dr. Koosmen's thesis at Newcastle online archive

The werewolf story in Satyricon

Some movies mentioned:

Van Helsing (2004)

Deep Rising (1998)

Interesting terms:

Versipellis - In Roman mythology and literature, a "versipellis" is literally a "skin changer" and referred to someone who could change their skin or shape, similar to a shapeshifter. The term is derived from "versus" (changed) and "pellis" (skin).
