Garden of Doom E.215 Werewolves

Cee the Superior re-enters the Garden (totally as a cohost) and does her usual spectacular job of studying the history, literature and trends of the given topic. This episode is werewolves. From pre-history relationships between wolves and humans (who domesticated who?) to the earliest know literature (The Epic of Gilgamesh), to the present day, we give the history, lore, historicity, literature and pop consumption trends of everyone's favorite lycanthrope. Yes, we study the origin of that term and address the recognized disease of Lycanthropy. From Pliny to Ovid to Stephanie Meyer and "Gingersnaps", we are cooking with gas. We also discuss what might be werewolf stories or characters without being overtly called such. Beware the moors, but don't beware the Garden.
