What is the mysterious connection between humans and wolves? Why do so many people feel compelled by these wild creatures? Is it because they are elusive, or intelligent, or vicious? Is it because they live in social hierarchies like we do?
Countless artists and psychologists and even scientists have sought to discover reasons for the connection between our species and theirs. Myths and ancient texts offer some insight into how we related to wolves.
From Native American wolf myths to modern-day explorations of the connection between our species like Women Who Run With Wolves (a book that compiles various myths and stories of the "wild woman" archetype throughout history), humans never cease to be fascinated by the wolf.
