Abstract
From the start it must be said that the wolf has, at the
imaginary level, a prestigious mythological file. The certain mythical
dimension that he has gained in time and due to various reasons, the wolf has
led to the birth of some of the most diverse cultural products. The imaginative
contents (starting from such realities), infinitely more complex than the
nuances, discovered and mythanalized in this study, developed in time a number
of ideas, beliefs, and myths about this animal in time. In the present study,
continuer of the mythological bestiary studies already published about Romanian
fairy tale (bear; stag; snake), we tried to surprise and encompass all the imagery
generated and reserved for the wolf. Thus, starting from the situations and the
mentions from classical mythology, passing through the area of the
mythfolkloric dossier dedicated to the wolf, we arrived with the analysis in
the fantastic epic fantasy area, the desideratum being to discover not only the
iconic-symbolic dimension but also the real-ethnological dimension of this
animal. And the scenarios, myths and the subjective-objective forms in which we
found the wolf in the fantastic Romanian fairytale (pandant of traditional
beliefs, animal-totem, the presence of magic lycanthropic rituals, etc.),
illustrates once again the important symbolic and cultural role played by this
animal, with echoes up to the postmodern times of our day.
