Q. What is the name of the earliest known Werewolf?
A: fangs and i know it's wrong!
| QUOTE (golam @ Oct 24 2003, 02:26 PM) |
| A: fangs and i know it's wrong! |
Good guess, golam, but I'm afraid Fang was Phyllis Diller's husband. Famous, yes, but not the first werewolf.
A; margaret and she was a German sheep slaughterer!
| QUOTE (golam @ Oct 24 2003, 02:59 PM) |
| A; margaret and she was a German sheep slaughterer! |
Sorry, not Margaret, no matter which "Margaret" you mean as there have been many. The earliest "Margaret" werewolf is a Hessen, Germany, woman. The earliest reference to a werewolf predates Germany as such by a very long time.
(Hint: give a general date/timeframe with your answer)

Getting close, soulfire. Damarcus was old, but still not the earliest. Your link gives the lead, but not enough detail.
Keep trying!

Getting closer, Lionel.
Gilgamesh was a great and powerful king (kinda strange dude, too), but not a werewolf.

dj, is that the capitol of a county, state/provence, country?

| Q. What is the name of the earliest known Werewolf? |
Michael Landon...
No wait - he was the first teenage werewolf.
A. King Nebuchadnezzar.
| QUOTE (theSOURCE @ Oct 27 2003, 02:27 PM) | ||
A. King Nebuchadnezzar. |
Sorry, no, theSOURCE. King Nebs became delerious in his old age and only thought he was a werewolf. He was also still not early enough.
(hint: The earliest named werewolf was an actual werewolf, not some nut case or a dude in an animal skin.)

A. La Paz, Bolivia ?

A. Lycaos |
Honorable mention there, Lionel, but still not it. Technically speaking, a werewolf is a person with the ability to change from human to wolf and back again. Unfortunately, Zeus cursed Lycaos to remain forever half man - half wolf... a Wolfman rather than a Werewolf.
