The Dacians honored the spirit of the wolf and believed that the wolf was the only effective power against evil spirits. In their religious beliefs, the wolf lived in packs and took good care of their offspring, so it was also regarded as a guardian warrior.
00:00:00.080Greetings, I am currently reading this fine tome of knowledge and I stumbled upon an interesting passage that I thought to share with you all.
00:00:09.360So I'm reading about the Dacian spirituality.
00:00:14.260The Dacians, like many of the peoples of the Balkan and the Italic peninsulas, honored the spirit wolf.0.51
00:00:20.680The Greek Lycaon, the wolfish Zeus and the Roman Apollo Lycaeus along with the goddess Feronia, the modern wolves,
00:00:27.760were all part of a long-established worship of the wolf.
00:00:31.940In Greece, philosophic gymnasia were dedicated to Lycaeus, a wolf god, hence the term Lycaeum.
00:00:39.200The Romans, as is well known, believed the infants Romulus and Remus were raised by Lupa, a she-wolf.
00:00:46.360One of the most celebrated Roman holidays was Lybercalia, wolf day.
00:00:51.040The Dacians likewise glorified the wolf, but at a higher spiritual level.0.91
00:00:55.220According to Strabo, the name Daisha comes from Dai and Daos, both of which are very close to the Celtic-Gallic word Dawai, meaning wolf people.
00:01:06.380Legends and traditions claim that the Dacians were nicknamed wolf people and so their land came to be referred to as Daisha.
00:01:13.200They considered the wolf to be the lord of animals.
00:01:16.240In their religious beliefs, the wolf was the only effective power against evil, so it was also regarded as a guardian warrior.
00:01:23.300Because wolves lived in packs and took good care of their offspring, the animals were models of family dynamics.
00:01:30.020Dacians considered the relationship between man and wolf so close that they believed in the transformation of man into werewolf.
00:01:37.740The military symbols of antiquity were often animals that inspired either horror or admiration.
00:01:43.740The Egyptians were proud of the cobra, the Greeks had the minotaur, half man and half bull,1.00

00:01:56.600Dacians considered themselves to be wolf warriors and adopted a battle flag that was named Drago or Draco.0.53
00:02:04.360It was the demonic representation of a portable deity with three meanings.
00:02:08.900The wolf's head symbolized the conquest of the surface of the earth.
00:02:13.060The snake body signified underwater domination and the wings represented the vibration of life.
00:02:20.340The elongated part could represent the tail of a comet since the Dacians strongly believed that any luminous celestial display would destroy their enemies.
00:02:27.980The Dacogitian flag looked terrifying to their enemies because it projected the image of something undefeatable.
00:02:35.700It was carried on the tip of a lance and the open jaws of the wolf produced an eerie sound when the winds passed through it.
00:02:43.120It was, in essence, a flying deity believed to have the power to keep away evil spirits and protect its bearers from harm.
00:02:49.840A flying dragon unearthed at an archaeological site in Prahova in modern Romania provides evidence that the Dacians used this symbol since the 4th century BC.
00:03:01.240More than 10 versions of this standard were chiseled 5 centuries later on the Column of Tradian in Rome.
