Curse - Cursed places: Encyclopedia II - Curse - Ancient Roman Curses Roman curses, true to the orderly Roman mind, were somewhat more formal and official. They were called tabulae defixionis. They were written on lead or other materials and then were posted in some place considered effective, such as in a tomb, or tossed into a sacred spring. In the text you uttered a prayer or formula that your enemy suffer injury in some specific way, along with the reason thereof. Perhaps someone stole a possession or harmed you or yours. The Romans, Etruscans and Greeks in Italy all practiced this custom. Fortunately for us, they hid the curses so well that today we have a body of c ...

Curse - Cursed places: Encyclopedia - Curse and mark of Cain

In Christianity and Judaism, the curse of Cain and the mark of Cain refer to the Biblical passages in the Book of Genesis chapter 4, where the god YHWH declared that Cain, the firstborn of Adam and Eve, was cursed, and placed a mark upon him to warn others that killing Cain would provoke the vengeance of YHWH. Cain's curse and mark have been interpreted in several ways. Following the literal Biblical text, most scholars today interpret the "curse" as Cain's inability to cultivate crops and the necessity that he lead a nomadic lifestyle. They interpret the "mark" as a warning to others, but are una ...

Curse - Cursed places: Encyclopedia - Curse of the Pharaohs

The Curse of the Pharaohs refers to the belief that any person who disturbs the mummy of an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh is placed under a curse whereby they will shortly die. Many tombs of pharaohs have curses written on or around them, warning against entering. The belief was brought to many people's attention due to the deaths of some members of the team of Howard Carter, who opened the tomb of King Tutankhamun (KV62) in 1922, launching the modern era of Egyptology. The first of these "mysterious" deaths was that o ...

A geas (also geis, plural geasa) has two interpretations in Irish mythology and folklore. First, it is a vow or obligation placed upon a person (usually a hero, such as Cuchulainn) in Irish mythology.

Curse - Cursed places: Encyclopedia - Werewolf

A werewolf in folklore and mythology is a person who changes into a wolf, either by purposefully using magic or by being placed under a curse. The medieval chronicler Gervase of Tilbury associated the transformation with the appearance of the full moon, but this concept was rarely associated with the werewolf until the idea was picked up by modern fiction writers. Most modern references agree that a werewolf can be killed if shot by a silver bullet, although this is more a reflection of fiction's influence than an authentic feature of ...

The Curse of the Bambino (1920 – 2004) was an urban myth or scapegoat cited as a reason for the failure of the Boston Red Sox baseball team to win the World Series for 84 years after they sold Babe Ruth, sometimes called The Bambino, to the New York Yankees.

The Winner's curse is a phenomenon akin to a Pyrrhic victory that occurs in common value auctions with incomplete information. In such an auction, the goods being sold have a similar value for all bidders, but players are uncertain of this value when they bid. Each player independently estimates the value of the good before bidding. The winner of an auction is, of course, the bidder who submits the highest bid. When each bidder is estimating the good's value and bidding accordingly, that will probably be the bidder whose estima ...
