They have waited incalculable millennia in the unexplored recesses of the Carpathian Mountains. Now an ancient race of dragons is emerging to separate fact from fable in a never-before-divulged record of their origins, their purpose, and their fears for a planet under siege in the Age of Humans.?We are myths. We never existed.?Lumea-Veche, most senior member of the ancient race of Dragons, knows it?s neither wise nor healthy to live in the Age of Humans. Best to remain patient, and endure safely in fabrications. But as humans wreak havoc on the planet, it?s time for an alliance, and for the Dragon race to finally reveal its unique and storied past to the shallow historians who have long distorted it.Here, in the first in a series, is the enlightening document by Lumea-Veche and Tanarul, Lumea?s curious, skeptical, and inquisitive two-hundred-years-young student. Together they embark on an incredible journey that takes them from the land that humans call Romania to the Rhine Valley of Germany to the mountains of Oman near the Arabian Sea, to the jungles of India, to the Arctic Ocean and beyond to seek out and engage the varied species of surviving Dragons to tell their exceptional stories. We meet the descendant of the first dragon slain by a human knight who was later known as St. George. We explore the Aztec civilization through the eyes of the flying serpent Quetzecoatl. We follow the artistic evolution of the world-famous image of the Chinese dragon, courtesy of the race?s eldest survivor. We discover the astonishing origins of the dragon crest of the Dracula legend. And most of all, we come closer than ever to understanding these mysterious symbols of the unknown that up until now have only been the stuff of folklore and fairy tales that have perpetuated an unfounded myth of the gold-hoarding, town-destroying monsters well into the 21st century.

We’ve all grown up with stories of magical dragons and mythical winged creatures. This thoroughly entertaining collection of stories draws on such tales from all over the world; from ancient Greece and Egypt, to 14th century China to France, Estonia, Ireland, Wales and beyond. Dragons, Wyverns and Serpents: Myths and Legends is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Many tales relate stories of bravery and ingenuity against a seemingly indomitable and terrifying creature; there’s George and the Dragon from England and the famous Norse Myth of Fafnir. Some (but not many!) creatures are benevolent, for example the sea serpent in the Egyptian Tale of the Shipwrecked Soldier. Each retelling contributes to a fascinating and lively overview of how a myriad mythical creatures are represented through time and across the globe.

They're called drakon in Greek, azhdaha in Persian, kelekona in Hawaiian, and have names in numerous other cultures as well. They're dragons. Many cultures even agree on what the giant serpents look like, though they may differ on whether these mythical creatures are benevolent or evil. This ultra-compelling volume takes readers on a tour of world cultures and dragon lore. Sometimes, this folklore is entwined with actual historical events, such as a Roman general's supposed encounter with a water-spewing dragon on a march to Africa. Breathtaking images and fascinating fact boxes contribute to this extremely high-interest text.

For millennia, people considered dragons to be real, and the vivid lore of dragons has touched societies from Central America to Europe, and from Egypt to China. The popularity of dragons can easily be assessed by the number of motion pictures that include them as an integral part of their narrative, from the friendly dragons of children's cartoons to the monsters being bred underground to unleash their horrors on humanity. Indeed, some of humanity's deepest cultural myths have included dragons, from the Greek and Georgian tale of Jason and the Argonauts to the stories from ancient China that influence modern New Year's festivities. The English word "dragon" comes from the Greek word "drakon," which means "snake," and while people today may have a hard time imagining a dragon as a simple snake, some scientists think that the international nature of the myth is based on the presence of snakes on nearly every continent. Oxford professor of medieval European literature Carolyne Larrington explained, "The anthropologist David E. Jones has suggested that the dragon myth takes its origins from an innate fear of snakes, genetically encoded in humans from the time of our earliest differentiation from other primates. It is true, of course, that it makes evolutionary sense to avoid dangerous animals of every kind, but it is less clear why people should invent stories about imaginary oversized serpents in particular. Nevertheless, there is a clear benefit to tales that warn children against straying into perilous marshy areas where the serpent might seize them, or against scrambling up treacherous mountain sides in search of monsters and treasure hoards." Nonetheless, some people feel that there must be more to this idea of dragons than the mere shape and danger of a snake, because so many of the myths include details that go beyond the simple behavior of class Reptilia, order Squamata, and suborder Serpentes. Close to 30 families of snakes are recognized in modern taxonomy, including 520 genera and more than 4,000 species. As many know, most are harmless, but plenty of snakes possess deadly venom. Though dragons are often depicted as fearsome and malevolent, not every culture viewed snakes in such a negative light. Some groups regarded snakes, and dragons, far more positively, like the Hopi natives of the American Southwest who believed that snakes were related to fertility, healing and positive transformation (Roderick and Davidson, 1988). The caduceus, a staff framed by two intertwining snakes, is still the symbol of medicine and the medical arts. Originally, it was the symbol related to the Greek god Hermes, messenger of the Olympian gods and protector of merchants, orators, thieves, travelers, and heralds. As this suggests, even if most people are vaguely familiar with European dragons or Chinese dragons, these mythical creatures have featured in mythology and legends in dozens of nations around the world, from North America and Polynesia to Africa and India. Roughly three dozen named dragons have been documented in Europe, from Albania and Greece to France and Spain, and from Russia and Poland to Lithuania.
