Spu points to his eye and calls Latro "Neurian", that is, werewolf. Has Spu recognized Latro as a werewolf? (Or could he only mean that he recognized Latro as Oior's sworn brother and concludes that he's Oior's fellow werewolf? As we find out later, Oior is a Neurian, but my alternative seems a bit doubtful.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, Borski suggests that the unexplained "wolf's tooth" that the Mother gave Latro, according to Apollo (Chapter 2) and Kore (Chapter 19) is the curse of lycanthropy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Other things work as well if Latro is a werewolf as if he isn't. Latro could mean "I bark". His real name, Lucius, sounds like the Greek word for "wolf". He describes himself as "loping" and "trotting" (Chapter 41). And when Latro meets the Triple Goddess, who calls herself the Queen of the Neurians (a point Borski misses), he says, "My teeth warred in my mouth, the teeth above against the teeth below"--chattering with fear, or starting to transform (Chapter 22).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Borski's ideas of evidence are very different from mine, but this is way better than Snow White, you wanna know my opinion.</DIV>
