- Possible Mythical Connections to Ogres
The word ‘ogre’ itself has its roots in the French language and is generally attributed to the Etruscan god Orcus. Although it is not certain that Orcus himself is the origin of these creatures, his brutish traits and cannibalistic tendencies were enough to make a connection that lasted from the late 12th century up until modern day. The first of t...
When it comes to ogres, everyone tends to agree on several key facts. First off, ogres are always seen to be noticeably large. They are man-like in appearance, but their size makes it clear that they are not human in nature. They are extremely tall (which tends give them associations with giants) and tend to be very stout. Their bodies are noted to...
Puss in Boots
Puss in Boots is a classic tale that has inspired many works of art and fiction since its release. The story follows a cat who is the inheritance of a young man who was born into a poor family. The cat helps the boy go from rags to riches by using trickery and manipulation to overpower the obstacles – and the ogre that gets in their way. Puss in Boots also introduces some interesting ideas about ogres and what they were capable of. One of the most important to the storyline is that the ogre t...
Hop-o’-My-Thumb
Hop-o’-My-Thumb is the story of a young boy who uses his cunning to save himself and his brothers from multiple threats – including being eaten by an ogre and his family. There are many underlying ideas in this story, but what is perhaps most interesting is the knowledge of the perspective of ogres that can be gathered from this tale. Ogres are shown to be intelligent creatures who show some civility and adhere to family units that are similar to that of human beings. The ogre in this story h...
There are many different ogres in mythology of all cultures, which suggests that the creatures who inspired the creation of the ogre were either widespread or entirely metaphorical. There is, of course, the possibility that the ogre myths could be widespread because of the interactions between early cultures and the adaptations of lore as they inte...
Orcus and the Ogre Legend
Orcus was an Etruscan god who was known for his intense craving of human flesh and his reign over the land of the dead (similar to Pluto and Hades). Orcus was depicted as being a large bearded giant with excessive hair – which is likely where the connection to ogres comes from. It is said that Orcus was actually a cyclops, which isn’t surprising considering they are another creature that is commonly related to ogre mythology.
Og – Last of the Giants
Though most people agree that Orcus was the inspiration for the name ‘ogre’’ there are those who think that these mythical monsters could have gotten their name from another source. Among these alternative sources is Og – the last of the Giants. The legend of Og comes to us from Hebrew mythology and is recorded in the bible in Deuteronomy, Numbers, and Psalms. Og is said to be the last of the Rephaim (giants) and was known to be an enormous being. His bed was said to be approximately 13.5 fee...
Oiagros
Not much is known about Oiagros (also known as Oeagrus) other than that he was a river god and that he and Calliope fathered Orpheus and Linus. There are, however, legends of an area that was near the River Hebrus that was named ‘Oeagria’ after him. It is therefore feasible to presume that ogres were named after that area of land and have a connection to Oiagros for this reason.
Jun 3, 2022 · Ogres are mythological creatures that date back to the 12th century. Orcs are fantasy creatures popularized by JRR Tolkien, though a few older sources use a similar word to “orc.”. Both are man-eating creatures that are very ugly and aggressive and are stronger than humans.
