摘要：People have been asking themselves questions about what dragons are for thousands of years and havenot had any definitive answer yet. Maybe there is no “final” answer to the questions - maybe dragons areboth part of our collective history as a figment of our imaginations and real monsters in the real world [1].Myth and history play host to a variety of dragons [2]. In order to study dragon history archaeologistshave often looked for clues in ancient folklore. It begins with all the stories about Creation, the dragons thatcaused the creation of Earth itself. Dragons have represented chaos, and lack of any kind of order”.The dragon is the great-great-grandfather of all monsters before the daemon, the vampire, the werewolfand the giant. “In the beginning, when all was dark and formless, two primal beings came into existence. Onewas male, the spirit of fresh water and the void, the other was female the spirit of salt water and chaos, and itwas a Dragon”. “It was composed of elements of dangerous creatures yet to come: it possessed the jaws of acrocodile, the teeth of a lion, the wings of a bat, the legs of a lizard, the talons of an eagle, the body of a python,the horns of a bull. The Dragon's name was Tiamat” [3].
