Vampire legends originated from east to west, along with the caravans along the silk route through the Mediterranean. Thence spread to Asia and then to the Slavic lands and the Carpathians. The myths were originally more closely associated with Iran, after all the eighth century, where they are now. Almost as soon as they arrived, the process of Christianization and the legends of vampires survive as myths. Later, the Roma migrated from the north west of India (where there are several myths about vampires), and mixed with the myths of the Slavs. Gypsies arrived in Transylvania shortly before the Dracula Vlad Tepes was born in 1431. The vampire was here the ghost of a dead person, in most cases is a witch, wizard etc. They were afraid of vampires, who kill people.
There are some things that differentiate them from a living being, are not reflected in the mirrors. Besides vampires can change shape, like a bat and that makes it very difficult to detect. The vampires have to sleep in their coffins because the sun can kill, but wakes up at night bloodthirsty. The most common way to eat is to go through a window in the form of a bat and then bite the victim in the neck and suck all the blood. Vampires can not enter a house without being invited, but if they have a permit, may enter as many times as you wish. The vampire is dangerous not only because it kills people, but because their victims are transformed into vampires after being bitten. Most vampires are nearly immortal, only some very special rituals can kill, such as nailing a stake in his heart, his head cut or burn their bodies.
hello
ReplyDeleteIs very interesting your article, now where they come because they had no idea and hopefully you can put the exact date of its origin.
Well, I don't think there is a precise date for their origin. Also, there are many different mythologies about vampires. Basically every writer creates their own particular view of vampires. For example, the vampires in the novel "Dracula" are very diferent from the vampires in the Anne Rice books (Interview with a vampire, The vampire Lestat, etc.) The difference is not only on personality, but also in their origin, powers and wekanesses. Regardless, vampires have always been very intriguing creatures even if they are not real. They have had a big influence on society. Maybe in other post it could be discussed how "vampires" have affected our pop culture.
