The video "Monstrum: Kallikantzaroi," hosted by Dr. Emily Zarka, delves into the intriguing folklore of the Kallikantzaros, a peculiar creature from Greek mythology associated with Christmas. These mischievous creatures are described as small, hairy, and black with red eyes and hooves. They traditionally emerge during the 12 Days of Christmas, causing chaos by draining life force and disrupting households. The video explores various legends across the Mediterranean, drawing parallels with other mythical beings like vampires. Cultural interpretations link them to concepts of time in Ancient Greece, and protective measures against them include religious rituals and symbolism, such as using pig jaws linked to Greek mythology. The Kallikantzaros is critically examined in light of societal changes, serving as a bridge between past and present cultural traditions. This enriching exploration enhances understanding of mythology, folklore, and its enduring relevance in contemporary culture.
