Exalted vs World of Darkness is interesting but I run into this common problem.

I don't really get lunars enough. So maybe you guys can help me. If you were in the colonial era, world wars era or even medieval time what sort of historical or mythical or legend you would use to describe a lunar? I know werewolf is about as easy as you can get. Although they're suppose to be more than that? Are they essentially loki? The chinese monkey guy? Zeus pissing on that one chick to make the minotaur?

If i'm honest, i'm not 100 percent sure on what to comparison you'd make with the other Exalt types. I guess you can just call a solar hercules and call it done. No clue with a sidereal and dragonbloods are well just elemental spirits.
