Dracula Bookmarks
Targoviste - between myth and reality
Synopsis
Centuries ago, Vlad Tepes, a Romanian prince, became well known in Europe because of his bloody habit, impaling. For this reason, people called him Vlad the Impaler. One of the favourite cities to express this bloody wish, was Targoviste. That’s why, Vlad the Impaler has been associated with Dracula, and Targoviste as one of Dracula’s house.
How does it look Targoviste nowadays?
A very quiet town, the only army that makes noise is for the celebration of the town.
Αιώνες πριν, γράφουν οι Ρουμάνοι συνεργάτες μας, ένας αιμοσταγής ηγεμόνας της Βλαχίας, ο Βλαντ Τέπες, ήταν διαβόητος στην Ευρώπη για τη συνήθειά του να ανασκολοπίζει τους εχθρούς του. Ένα από τα κάστρα του, το κάστρο του Δράκουλα βρίσκεται στην πόλη μας, Ταργκοβίστε, σήμερα μια ήσυχη επαρχιακή πόλη. Ο μόνος στρατός που παρελαύνει είναι οι κάτοικοι κατά τις τοπικές γιορτές.

NOTE: Demeter, the ancient goddess of earth, had a special connection to our town. "Demeter" is the name of the ship with which Dracula travelled from Romania to England, in a most thrilling story within a story!

Why does a female dracula feed on babies?
Greek answers: The younger the prey, the more they will remain young and beautiful(?)

I think that a female Dracula feed on babies because she needs pure and innocent blood that can't affect their human bodies. (by Oanaas)

Actually, I must say it isn't by chance that young unmarried , or newly-wed women, who haven't given birth seek babies' blood, once transformed into she-vampires. Dracula has depriven them from motherhood, so they look for what they never had, only in a twisted way, in order to suck the blood (death connotations), instead of a baby sucking milk(i.e. life) from them.
Of course, their callousness shocks the audience even today, adding to the horror of the gothic novel.
"What a third-rate creature you are, even by zombie standards."
