Dragons are winged creatures portrayed in the ancient mythologies of most cultures around the world.
The legends of dragons tie in with mythologies of winged gods from the heavens who came to Earth to create the human race.
Dragons are very important symbols in many cultures today.
This dragon was illustrated by Edward Topsell in "Historie of Serpents" (1608). He insisted dragons were giant pythons (snakes).
