vampire dracula
what is the difference berween a vampire a dracula and a beowulf according to their origins, mythologically?
Though easy to differentiate a, a beowulf from other two, can anyone please tell me exact difference between a dracula and a vampire?
There's no such thing as a creature called beowulf - Beowulf was the proper name of an epic warrior hero in Norse Mythology who fought and killed the monster Grendel as well as Grendel's mother[phpbay] (link to the wikipedia page on Beowulf is below[phpbay])
A vampire is a folkloric creature neither living nor entirely dead that preys upon mankind in order to obtain an unnatural form of immortality[phpbay] The vampire legend spans many cultures, and vampires from different regions posess different abilities[phpbay] There is literally nowhere on Earth where a creature that may be described as a vampire cannot be found in local legend[phpbay]
In Bram Stoker's 1897 novel "Dracula," the titular villan is an centuries old Romanian vampire, possing the folkloric abilities to change into, among other things, a bat, a slew of rats, and mist[phpbay] The creature, as is common in vampire legends, drains the blood of its victims in order to sustain its own existence[phpbay]
