Origins

The origin of the pigs three Media:Example.ogglies in European folk tales and mythologies based on the deep ambiguity of human attitudes to the wolf. Wolves are usually afraid of human beings and prefer to keep to themselves, but in ancient Europe small settlements were allegedly sometimes attacked by starving or rabid wolves. The lone wolf attacking a flock of sheep or goats is a rarity, but a wolf faced with a penned flock that cannot flee will kill indiscriminately. Attacks on humans have always been extremely rare, and are usually associated with self-defense or defense of the pack's young, or less often with disease or starvation. However, the rarity of these attacks, during a period of European history in which most people lived on the verge of starvation or destitution, rendered them all the more stark. The word mythology (from the Greek μυολογία mythología, from mythologein to relate myths, from mythos, meaning a narrative, and logos, meaning speech or argument) literally means the (oral) retelling of myths – stories that a particular culture believes to be true and that use the supernatural to interpret natural events and...

According to the Edda, Fenrisulfr bites off the hand of Týr (John Bauer, 1911)

Conversely, humans have often observed the complex social lives of wolves. Known to pair bond for life, to be protective parents, and to engage in playful behaviour with other animals — especially carrion birds such as crows and ravens, wolves have also been the objects of a level of respect. There is ample anecdotal evidence of wolves occasionally fostering small children abandoned in rural areas (there is an especially large body of such tales from India). "Wolf children" featured in folk tales, as did werewolves, creatures who perfectly embodied the human attraction to and fear of the wolf.

European mythology is replete with lupine imagery: in Norse mythology the god Odin possesses two wolves, Geri and Freki; the god Loki has a wolf son, Fenrisulfr, who bites off the hand of the god Tyr, and who will eventually devour Odin at Ragnarok; Romulus and Remus, mythological founders of Rome, were brought up by a she-wolf, and are usually portrayed as infants suckling on their foster mother; Aesop's Fables often centred on wolves, with The Boy Who Cried Wolf being the best known; the Greek goddess Hecate, who was associated with death and magic, is often represented as wearing three wolves' heads and/or accompanied by three dogs; the Greek king Lycaon was turned into a wolf by Zeus, and it is from his name that we get the term lycanthropy (the ability to turn into or take on the characteristics of a wolf). Interestingly, wolves appear to have been widely venerated and respected by Native American peoples, who were horrified by the European settlers' systematic attempts to exterminate the animal.

Disney's Big Bad Wolf (Zeke Wolf)

The character's best known incarnation is the villain of Walt Disney's animation Three Little Pigs, directed by Burton Gillett and first released on May 27, 1933. The Wolf's voice was provided by Billy Bletcher. As in the folktale, he was a cunning and threatening menace. This version had a taste for disguising himself, but both the audience and the Pigs could easily see through the Wolf's disguises.

The short was so popular that Walt Disney produced several sequels, which also featured the Wolf as the villain. The first of them was named after him: The Big Bad Wolf, also directed by Burton Gillett and first released on April 14, 1934. In the next of the sequels, Three Little Wolves (1936), he was accompanied by three just-as-carnivorous sons. (These three sons were later reduced to just one who, in contrast to his father, was full of goodness and charm and a friend of the three little pigs.) The final cartoon featuring the Three Little Pigs and the Wolf, The Practical Pig, was released in 1939. With each successive short, the Wolf exhibits a fondness for dressing in drag, and even "seduces" Fiddler and Fifer Pigs (who become more and more clueless as to his disguises with each installment) with such disguises as "Goldielocks the Fairy Queen", Little Bo Peep, and a mermaid.

In this episode, his tendency to destroy houses by exhaling is shown to be an allergy-like reaction to the sight of a door.

The comic book series Fables by Bill Willingham features a reformed Big Bad Wolf as a major character, commonly referred to as "Bigby". In order to pass for human, he has been infected with lycanthropy, making him, in essence, a were-human. He acts as sheriff for the Fable community, going by the name of Bigby Wolf. He is often portrayed as a typical film-noir-style trenchcoat-wearing detective. In the context of the series, he earned the name 'Big Bad' after his siblings sarcastically noted his drive to be ferocious, particularily after his father, the incarnation of the North Wind, left his mother due to being bored with the relationship. Due to his unique parentage, his infamous 'huff 'n puff' is a form of wind control that has been shown to be powerful enough to smash trees down, blow out an army of flaming animated puppetmen, and Bigby once conjectured that even a brick house would most likely be blown to bits by it.
