From Angels to Werewolves: Animal-Human Hybrids in Myth and Art

by Philip F. Palmedo Author

This book is for mythology fans, as this delves into a very specific area of myth and folklore: animal-human hybrids: the therianthrope, in other words human-other hybrids. From angels that flock in Christian art, the minotaur in Greek mythology, werewolves, hawk-cephalic Horus in Egyptian mythology, the author will take you all the way back through human history featuring hybrid creatures. Think of one of the most iconic of guitar pedals, the Klon Centaur featuring a therianthrope itself, these figures have followed us into our culture to this day.
