In many Eurasian mythologies, the wolf was accepted as the ancestor or tutor of the ancestor of the tribe. In addition to the ancient Roman myth of Romulus and Remus, raised by a wolf, there is an ancient Iranian legend about a wolf that breastfed King Cyrus. In a Chinese 7th-century chronicle of the Turks' ancestors, it is said that they were exterminated by the enemies, except for a boy who was fattened by a wolf who later became his wife and gave birth to his 10 sons, the founders of the Turkic families. Worship from the cult to the wolf is preserved among the Azeri (Boz Kurt - the gray wolf); There is also a cult of wolves in the Bashkirs - the ethnonym Bashkort ("chief wolf") refers to the Oguz branch of the Turkic tribes. In Mongolian mythology, the wolf-progenitor Borte-Chino is known; Ainu in Japan are also thought to have originated in a union between a wolf-like creature and a goddess. In some North American Native American tribes, similar myths exist about the origin of wolves (the generic group of kaggutans of the Tlinkite tribe, the Nutka tribe, etc.). According to Strabo, the Dacians call themselves wolves (δáοι), and Herodotus says that every year, the Neuros become wolves. The latter is supposed to be related to an annual ritual involving the wolf skins and the placement of wolf masks. The gods Zeus and Apollo in ancient Greek mythology are worshiped with the epithet "Lyceum"- Wolf.

Wasn't all of Asia Minor, excepting Armenia, Greek speaking and Orthodox Chrisian, so basically Greek when the Turks came out of Central Asia? Turks must have more Greek blood than any non-Greek Balkaners.

All of Asia Minor wasn't Greek but there are Greek toponyms all over Turkey and Greek was language widely used in Asia Minor and even parts
of the Middle East in Byzantine times.

Before conquest by the first Turkic tribes who adopted Islam from the Arabs most Anatolians were Christian
