The Werewolf Cult of Mt Lykaion & Human Sacrifice in Ancient Greece
Various texts from the Greco-Roman period speak of a strange cult on Mount Lykaion, in Greece, dedicated to wolves and which worshiped a form of Zeus known as Zeus Lykios--"Wolf Zeus". Those same texts, and ancient urban legends and folklore, tell us that the cult practiced human sacrifice. But what do we really know about this group, which supposedly could shape shift into werewolves?
