NEURI

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 428 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NEURI , an ancient tribe placed by
Herodotus
  (iv. io5) to the
north
 -
east
  of
Scythia
 . He says of it that it is not Scythian, hut has Scythian customs. Every member of it, being a wizard, becomes a
wolf
  once a year. The position assigned to their
district
  appears to be about the head waters of the Dniester and Bug (Hugh) and the central course of the
Dnieper
  just the region which, on-general grounds, nlace-names, recorded migrations and
modern
  distribution, appears to be the
original
  location of the Slays (q.v.). The
wolf
  story again recalls the tales of werewolves so common among Slavonic peoples, and there is much probability in
Schafarik
 's conjecture that the Neuri are nothing but the ancestors of the Slays. (E. H. M.)
