What is known
about dragons?
short history
Dragons are one of the most popular mythical creatures in the world. Myths and legends about these monsters exist in many cultures from the Americas and Europe to India and China. Their history is long and rich in forms. To this day, they inhabit books, movies and TV series.
It is impossible to determine exactly when and where the very first stories about dragons appeared. Descriptions of huge flying lizards are found both among the ancient Greeks and the Sumerians. Most of the time, dragons were treated like any mythical creature: sometimes they were protectors and saviors, sometimes dangerous destroyers.
Everything changed when Christianity spread around the world. Dragons began to be considered sinister creatures, symbols of Satan.

If you believe the legends, in ancient times the dragon kept all the nearby villages in fear, demanding tribute — gold and precious stones or beautiful boys and girls. Chinese dragons, on the contrary, were quiet, affectionate and even helped people with advice.
