This week, we discuss the trope in myth, legend, horror, and adjacent genres of feral children. We won't be directly discussing actual cases of trauma, neglect, or child abuse, but rather the place of the bestial feral child in the mythology of different ancient cultures all the way up to a more recent timeline. Why do these stories interest us, spook us, and who's the real monster here?\nLinks\n\nRegister for our International Archaeology Day Live Show on October 16!\n\nBlack Doves Speak: Herodotus and the Languages of Barbarians (Center for Hellenic Studies)\n\nHow Young Children Learn Language (Scholastic)\n\nFlint Dibble on Wolf\u2019s Milk and More\n\nGuide to the classics: the Epic of Gilgamesh (The Conversation)\n\nBetween gods and animals: becoming human in the Gilgamesh epic (Aeon)\n\nThe History of Hayy ibn Yaqzan, translated by Simon Ockley\n\nRewriting the Savage: The Extraordinary Fictions of the \"Wild Girl of Champagne\" (Eighteenth-Century Studies)\n\nThe Wild Girl, Natural Man, and the Monster (via WorldCat)\n\nWhy Sasquatch and Other Crypto-Beasts Haunt Our Imaginations (Anthropology of Consciousness)\n\nFeral Disorders and Colonial Exclusions: Animal Reared Feral Children, Discourses of Animality, and the Treatment of Animals in Colonial India (via Academia.edu)\n\nWild stories: why do we find feral children so fascinating?
