One of the earliest written references to black wolves occurs in the Babylonian epic, oh, it's in Gilgamesh. So that's 6,000 years ago. The titular character rejects the sexual advances of the goddess Ishtar, reminding her that she had transformed a previous lover, a shepherd, into a wolf, thus turning him into the very animal that his flocks must be protected against. Whoa. Heavy. It is heavy.
