[[File:Bystrouska.jpg|240px|thumb|right|Monument of Bystrouška from [[Janáček]]'s opera ''[[The Cunning Little Vixen]]'' in [[Hukvaldy]], Janáček's hometown]]

The [[fox]] appears in the [[folklore]] of many cultures, but especially European and East Asian, as a figure of cunning, [[trickery]], or as a [[familiar animal]] possessed of magic powers, and sometimes associated with [[Shapeshifting|transformation]]. [[Literature]], film, television, games, music, and other forms of cultural expression may reflect the folklore image and reputation.

The term [[wikt:foxy|"foxy"]] in [[English language|English]] ("having the qualities of a fox") can also connote attractiveness, sexiness, or being red-haired. The term "to [[wikt:outfox|outfox]]" means "to beat in a competition of wits", similarly to "outguess", "outsmart", and "outwit".

==In folklore and wisdom==
===Africa===
In [[Dogon people|Dogon]] mythology, the fox<ref>((Cite web|url=https://thewebsiteofeverything.com/animals/mammals/Carnivora/Canidae/Vulpes/Vulpes-pallida.html|title=Pale Fox – Mysterious Fox of the African Desert – pictures and facts|website=The Website of Everything))</ref> is reported to be either the trickster god of the desert, who embodies chaos<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.godchecker.com/african-mythology/OGO/|title=OGO – the Dogon God of Chaos (African mythology)|website=Godchecker.com))</ref> or a messenger for the gods.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://openaccess.leidenuniv.nl/handle/1887/9039|title=Dogon restudied: A field evaluation of the work of Marcel Griaule|date=18 October 1991|website=Openaccess.leidenuniv.nl))</ref>

There is a [[Tswana people|Tswana]] riddle that says that ''"Phokoje go tsela o dithetsenya'' [Only the muddy fox lives] meaning that, in a philosophical sense, 'only an active person who does not mind getting muddy gets to progress in life.'

===Europe===
[[Kuma Lisa]] is a female fox from [[Bulgarian folklore]] and [[Russian folklore]] who usually plays the role of the [[trickster]]. Kuma Lisa is encountered with another character known as [[Kumcho Vulcho]] – a [[wolf]] which is opposite to her and very often suffers from her tricks. Veronika Makarova writes that in Western European folklore, words relating to foxes, such as French "renard", have a masculine grammatical gender, which is why Western European foxes are usually depicted as male foxes, but the word лисa (''lisa'') in Russian has a feminine grammatical gender, which is why nearly all depictions of foxes in Russian folklore are female.<ref>((cite journal |last=Makarova |first=Veronika |title=Chasing foxes in Russian folk tales |journal=Canadian Slavonic Papers |date=2 October 2018 |volume=60 |issue=3–4 |pages=426–444 |url= https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00085006.2018.1512793 |doi=10.1080/00085006.2018.1512793 |s2cid=149738787 |access-date=7 October 2022))</ref>

In [[Scotland]], the trickster figure of the fox (or ''tod'' in traditional [[Scots language|Scots]]) was represented as ''Lowrence'', as in the ''[[The Morall Fabillis of Esope the Phrygian|Morall Fabillis]]'' of [[Robert Henryson]].

In [[Finnish mythology]], the fox is usually depicted as a cunning trickster, but seldom evil. The fox, while weaker, in the end outsmarts both the evil and voracious wolf and the strong but not-so-cunning bear. It symbolizes the victory of intelligence over both malevolence and brute strength. In Northern Finland, the fox is said to conjure the aurora borealis while it runs through the snowy hills. When the fox’s fur touches the snow it creates magical sparks and sets the sky ablaze. Still today, the Finnish word for the aurora is "revontulet" which literally translates to "fox-fires".

An [[Occitan language|Occitan]] song dating from the Middle Ages, ''Ai Vis lo Lop'', features a wolf (''lo lop''), a fox (''lo rainard'') and a hare (''lebre'') dancing and circling a tree. It has been suggested that the three animals represent the King, Lord and Church who were responsible for taxation (the lyrics go on to refer to money gained over the year and how nothing was left after seeing 'the wolf, the fox and the hare').

In [[Europe]], in the [[Middle Ages]] and [[Renaissance]], foxes, which were associated with wiliness and [[fraud]]ulent behavior, were sometimes burned as symbols of the [[Devil]].<ref>((Cite book

In the medieval cycle of [[Reynard the Fox]], he is a trickster interacting with other anthropomorphic animals in a satire of medieval society.

===Middle East===
In early [[Mesopotamian mythology]], the fox is one of the sacred animals of the goddess [[Ninhursag]]. The fox acts as her messenger.

The [[Bible]]'s [[Song of Solomon]] (2:15) includes a well-known verse ''"Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom"'' which had been given many interpretations over the centuries by Jewish and Christian Bible commentators.	

To the Jewish sage [[Matteya ben Heresh]], of the 2nd century CE, is attributed the maxim: "Meet each man with friendly greeting; be the tail among lions rather than the head among foxes".<ref>((Cite web|url=https://lib.cet.ac.il/pages/item.asp?item=11025|title=הוה זנב לאריות, ואל תהי ראש לשועלים|website=Lib.cet.ac.il))</ref> "The head among foxes" in this context is similar to the English expression "A big fish in a small pond". "Fox fables" are attributed to [[Rabbi Meir]] and [[Johanan ben Zakai]], and appeared in a [[Mishlè Shu'alim|compilation under that name]] by [[Berechiah ha-Nakdan]]; the term in fact refers also to fables featuring animals other than foxes.

===East Asia===
[[File:Prince Hanzoku terrorised by a nine- tailed fox.jpg|right|upright|thumb|[[Prince Hanzoku]] terrorized by a nine-tailed kitsune (fox spirit). Print by [[Utagawa Kuniyoshi]], 19th century.]]
((see also|Foxes in Japanese folklore))
((see also|Foxes in Chinese mythology))
In [[Shanhaijing|Classic of Mountains and Seas]] (edited by Liu Xiang in Han Dynasty and probably composed by people before Qin Dynasty), foxes eat people, and predict war.
In Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese folklores, foxes (''[[huli jing]]'' in China, ''[[kitsune]]'' in Japan, ''[[kumiho]]'' in [[Korea]], and ''[[hồ ly tinh]]'' in Vietnam) are powerful spirits that are known for their highly mischievous and cunning nature, and they often take on the form of female humans to seduce men. In contemporary Chinese, the word ''huli jing'' is often used to describe a mistress negatively in an extramarital affair. In [[Shinto]] of Japan, kitsune sometimes help people as an errand of their deity, [[Inari (mythology)|Inari]].

===Americas===
The [[Moche (culture)|Moche]] people of ancient [[Peru]] worshipped animals and often depicted the fox in their art.<ref>Katherine Berrin & Larco Museum (1997). ''The Spirit of Ancient Peru:Treasures from the [[Larco Museum|Museo Arqueológico Rafael Larco Herrera]]''. New York: [[Thames and Hudson]].</ref> The Moche people believed the fox to be a warrior that would use his mind to fight. The fox would not ever use physical attack, only mental.

In the [[Uncle Remus]] collection of 19th-century [[African-American]] folktales adapted and compiled by [[Joel Chandler Harris]], "[[Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear|Br'er Fox]]" is a major character, often acting as the [[antagonist]] towards the stories' main character, "[[Br'er Rabbit]]".

[[Vladimir Bogoraz]] wrote down a [[creation myth]] he allegedly heard from the [[Chukchi people]], in which the yellow fox attempts to deceive the Creator of the world for food, but fails, and the [[arctic fox]] is cowardly.<ref>((cite journal |last=Bogoras |first=Waldemar |title=Chuckchee Tales |journal=The Journal of American Folklore |date=1928 |volume=41 |issue=161 |page=299 |doi=10.2307/535242 |jstor=535242 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/535242 |access-date=7 October 2022))</ref>

==In language==
===As an epithet===
The Medieval [[Normans|Norman]] adventurer [[Robert Guiscard]] was nicknamed ''"Robert the Fox"'' as well as ''the Resourceful'', ''the Cunning'', ''the Wily'' – underlining the identification of such qualities with foxes.

During the [[American Revolution]] Continental Army Officer [[Francis Marion]] became so adept at attacking and ambushing British forces in the swamps of [[South Carolina]] that he became known as the "Swamp Fox".

During [[World War II]], the German commander in North Africa, [[Erwin Rommel]], was grudgingly nicknamed the "Desert Fox" by his British adversaries, as a tribute to his cunning and skill in operational art.

The [[Italy|Italian]] sociologist and economist [[Vilfredo Pareto]] (1848–1923) in his ''Trattato di Sociologia Generale'' (1916) developed the concept of an [[elite]] [[social class]], which he divided into cunning 'foxes' and violent 'lions'. In his view of society, the [[power (sociology)|power]] constantly passes from the 'foxes' to the 'lions' and vice versa.

===Figures of speech===
The words ''fox'' and ''foxy'' have become slang in [[English language|English-speaking]] societies for an individual (most often female) with sex appeal. The word ''vixen'', which is normally the common name for a female fox, is also used to describe an attractive woman—although, in the case of humans, "vixen" tends to imply that the woman in question has a few nasty qualities.

The word ''shenanigan'' (a deceitful [[confidence trick]], or [[mischief]]) is considered to be derived from the Irish expression ''sionnachuighim'', meaning "''I play the fox''."<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.yourdictionary.com/shenanigan|title=Shenanigan dictionary definition &#124; shenanigan defined|website=Your Dictionary))</ref>
