| The appearance of dragons in mythology is rich and vast crossing all cultural boundaries and appearing in all cultures from the Orient to Europe and even South American. Many of these myths possess common themes such as a hero or god overcoming a beast which is often shown to be serpent-like in appearance in the progress of creating the world or its destruction. The dragon often times represents evil, chaos, cruelty and destruction, a force to be overcome, dominated, controlled or destroyed. Since dragons often symbolized evil and primeval chaos in earlier stories, they are often linked with sea, water, and storms.
I hope to provide here a listing of the various dragons that appear in mythology,as well as links to read more on these creatures, and please if a particular dragon of mythology is missing, please send the imformation to [email protected] and I will gladly add it to the site. Thank you and please enjoy the site. |
