[QUOTE="Grayson, post: 45287, member: 18"] Porphyria gives symptoms similar to what we think of as Vampiric, pale skin, pain from sunlight, blood coloured urine, but it didn't inspire the Vampire tale. Polidori's 1819 novella The Vampyre is the first recorded story of such creatures. Proto-Vampires are reported in human writings as far back as ancient Mesopotamia where Demons has all the traits we know in the modern Vampire. The first recorded use of the word was in 1047 and it was a Russian word Upir. Between 1725 and 1732 Austrian Officials noted a practice in Serbia of exhuming bodeies in order to kill the Vampire. This gained a lot of publicity at the time. Vlad the impaler is seen to be the name seized upon as he was descended of Vlad Dracul of House Draculesti, House Dragon, as he was notable for impaling people on wooden stakes. It is curious that Vlad's greatest enemy was Matthias Corvinus, another name lately attached to the Vampire legend. Bram Stokers book, Dracula, drew on many legends and played to the Victorian fear of Patriarchy where elder males would live too long to pass their wealth along to younger family members. It was quite the book at that time. Stoker set the tone for what we perceive as Vampires today. Porphyria echoes that tone. [/QUOTE]
