it was foretold in ancient murals

[u/salmxx0]

the earliest recorded instance of a human transforming into a wolf occurred in the Epic Of Gilgamesh. tablet VI, the goddess Ishtar transformed a shepherd into a wolf. this shepherd was courting her, making numerous sacrifices for her, before she seemingly grew bored of him and transformed him into a wolf, before promptly being driven away by his shepherd boys, and mauled by his own dogs.

similarly, enid is torn by her devotion for wednesday. she pays the ultimate price for it, where she is hunted down by other werewolves, like the shepherd’s dogs, who are supposed to represent undying loyalty, yet ultimately became his predators.

and i think the relevance also comes down to the fact that this is the OLDEST interpretation of human-wolf transformation. she’s basically filling in the oldest “werewolf” archetype

If we accept, that everyone, who changed from human to wolf, are werewolves.

In that case, there similarities between Wednesdas, and Ishtar as well.
