Δράκουλα, or Vampire, is a mythical creature often depicted as a reanimated corpse that feeds on the blood of the living. The concept of vampires has roots in various cultures, with stories of bloodsucking beings appearing in folklore around the world. They are typically characterized by their pale skin, sharp fangs, and aversion to sunlight. The most famous vampire is Count Dracula, a fictional character created by Bram Stoker in his 1897 novel "Dracula." This story popularized many vampire traits, such as immortality and the ability to transform into a bat. Vampires have since become a staple in literature, film, and popular culture.
