interesting reading…
Ailuros was the Greek name for the Egyptian cat goddess Bastet.
ancient Greece mythology played its part in the metamorphose of cats from highly worshiped creatures to witchesâ familiars.
– When Galinthius hinders Hera’s plans concerning Heracles birth, she is changed into a cat/weasel as punishment, cursed to live a joyless life all alone. Hecate, among other things, the goddess of the moon, magic, witchcraft took pity and Galinthius was taken down to the underworld to live as Hecateâs assistant.
– The ancient Greeks felt that Ailuros was a night-version of their goddess Artemis. Artemis was the virginal twin sister of Apollo; Goddess of the hunt, wild animals, and fertility. She was always depicted as being flanked by animals of all kinds. In one story, the gods are fleeing from Typhon (a large monstrous Titan) and Artemis turns herself into a cat in order to escape. Later on in Greek mythology Artemis takes a turn toward the dark side. She becomes a practitioner of magic arts. An eerily familiar story begins to unfold as she becomes the unmarried witch that has the ability to shape shift into a cat.
