Dragon in the West - From Ancient Myth to Modern Legend (Ogden Daniel (Professor of Ancient History Professor of Ancient History University of Exeter))(Pevná vazba)

An exploration of how the image and idea of the dragon has evolved through history. How did the dragon get its wings? Everyone in the modern West has a clear idea of what a dragon looks like and of the sorts of stories it inhabits, not least devotees of the fantasies of J. R. R.Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, and George R.R. Martin. A cross between a snake and some fearsome mammal, often sporting colossal wings, they live in caves, lie on treasure, maraud, and breathe fire. They are extraordinarily powerful, but even so, ultimately defeated in their battles with humans.
