| | European dragon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The later Babylonian dragon worshiped by the court of the Persian Cyrus the Great, in the Hebrew narrative in Bel and the Dragon probably dates to the late 2nd century BCE. | | | Dragons of Slavic mythology hold mixed temperaments towards humans. | | | Likely, the dragons of European and Mid Eastern mythology stem from the cult of snakes found in religions throughout the world. |

| | Celtic Dragon History |
| | The Dragon of Wantley was a true dragon, typical in his attributes, behaviour and the method of killing him, though this was also used against worms. | | | In Brittany he was 'the dragon of the Bretons.' Each May Day, it was said, he uttered a terrible scream that could be heard underneath every hearth fire, demanding burial of a tub of mead as an offering to him. | | | Even up to the end of the nineteenth century there were country folk who firmly believed in their existence. |

| | In contrast, dragons- particularly the worm type- were linked to water, such as the lindworm who lives in water bodies (Shuker, 2004). | | | The panther, as a symbol of the Lord Jesus Christ (Mermier, 1992), breaks the dragons stranglehold over the wild animals which it keeps in fear by eating a large meal. | | | Though they had often been fought and destroyed in the past by numerous slayers, warriors and heroes, with the rise of the Christian church mankind was given hope against this great evil and began to challenge the master of fire, land and sky which had plagued the European world for so long. |

The Persian dragon is wingless, with the mane, talons, and long serpentine body characteristic of the Asian dragon. |
