An entertaining back story on the conflict between Vampire and Werewolf, and its impact upon Romania and the 11th Crusade.
Ancient History
The son of Pelasgus by Meliboea was the King of Arcadia who sired a son Lycaon (LUKAWN).
Lycaon disdained his father’s worship of Zeus. Upon Pelasgus’s death, Zeus wanted to see for himself the irreverence of the people and Lycaon, the son of the King in particular.
Lycaon wanted to affront Zeus in a spectacular way. He took his grandchild, a mere stripling and dismembered and sacrificed him on an altar then proceeded to present the child as a banquet feasting piece during the feast held at the zenith of the moons brightness. By sacrificing his grandchild Arcas and serving that child to the god, Lycaon tried to test Zeus.
Zeus, transforms Lycaon
Zeus, angered at the effrontery of the mortal threw thunderbolts destroying Lycaon’s palace. Zeus, in pity and charity then restored the child to life.
The Gods rage shook the foundations of the city and palace. Lycaon in fear fled along with his sons. All 50 of them (dirty bugger). Zeus hunted them all down. Each was changed into the likeness of a wolf. Zeus proclaimed mightily that the sons of and progeny of Lycaon would forever desire the flesh of man.
The sons and Lycaon fled Arcadia. Some fled north thru Macedonia, modern day Bulgaria and as far north as Romania.
