The dragon is a legendary beast in the folklore of many European and Asian cultures. These creatures are traditionally portrayed as ferocious fire-breathing beasts that represent the evils fought by human beings. According to medieval legends, dragons lived in wild remote regions of the world and guarded great treasures from their dens. The person who slayed the dragon would gain all its wealth. Beowulf, Apollo, and Saint George all became legendary heroes after slaying dragons. |
