About: Estries

An Entity of Type: EvilSpirit109541919, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Estries are female vampires of Jewish folklore that were believed to prey on Hebrew citizens. The name derives from the French strix, a term for a night owl. In some accounts they are considered identical with succubi: both were portrayed as beautiful, blood-thirsty female demons, with succubi thought to favor babies and young children as prey. Estries, like other vampires, needed to feed on blood to survive and were more indiscriminate in their choice of victims. Succubi were said to kill pregnant women and babies out of jealousy or spite, and to seduce (or in some cases rape) men. Estries and succubi were both said to be able to appear as humans or in spirit form at will, but Estries were also described as able to turn into birds or cats and various other animals.

  • エストリエ（Estrie）は、ヘブライ人を獲物にすると信じられていた、ユダヤ伝承の女性の吸血鬼。この名前は、昼夜逆転生活の用語であるフランス語の「strix」に由来している。いくつかの説明では、エストリエはサキュバスと同一であると見なされている。どちらも美しく、血に飢えた女悪魔であり、サキュバスは赤子や幼児を獲物として好むと考えられていた。他の吸血鬼のように、エストリエは生存のために血を摂取する必要があり、犠牲者の選択は無差別だった。サキュバスは、嫉妬や嫌悪感から妊娠中の女性や赤子を殺し、男性を誘惑する（または場合によってはレイプする）と言われていた。エストリエとサキュバスはどちらも人型に、または霊的な形で自由に現れることができると言われていたが、エストリエは鳥や猫、その他の様々な動物に変わることができるとも言われていた。 (ja)
