History of The Dragon
Dragons are legendary creatures, typically with serpentine or otherwise reptilian traits, that feature in the myths of worldwide cultures.
The two most familiar interpretations of dragons are European dragons, derived from various European folk traditions, and the
unrelated Oriental dragons, such as the Chinese dragon The English word "dragon" derives from Greek δράκων (drakōn), "dragon,
serpent of huge size, water-snake", which probably comes from the verb δρακεῖν (drakein) "see clearly".
Dragons are usually shown in modern times with a body like a huge lizard, or a snake with two pairs of lizard-type legs, and able to
emit fire from their mouths. The European dragon has bat-type wings growing from its back. A dragon-like creature with no front legs
is known as a wyvern.
Like most mythological creatures, dragons are perceived in different ways by different cultures. Dragons are sometimes said to
breathe and spit fire, poison, and/or ice.
They are commonly portrayed as serpentine or reptilian, hatching from eggs and possessing typically feathered or scaly bodies.
They are sometimes portrayed as having large yellow or red eyes, a feature that is the origin of the word for dragon in many cultures.
They are sometimes portrayed with a row of dorsal spines, keeled scales, or leathery bat-like wings.
Winged dragons are usually portrayed only in European dragons while Oriental versions of the dragon resemble large snakes.
Dragons can have a variable number of legs: none, two, four, or more when it comes to early European literature.
Also, some dragons in Greek literature were known to have millions of legs at a time. Modern depictions of dragons tend to be larger
than their original representations, which were often smaller than humans, but grew in the myths and tales of man over the years.
Although dragons occur in many legends around the world, different cultures have varying stories about monsters that have been
grouped together under the dragon label.
Dragons are often held to have major spiritual significance in various religions and cultures around the world.
In many Asian cultures dragons were, and in some cultures still are, revered as representative of the primal forces of nature, religion
and the universe.
They are associated with wisdom—often said to be wiser than humans—and longevity.
They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural power, and are often associated with wells, rain, and
rivers. In some cultures, they are also said to be capable of human speech.
