Greek Dragons

The Mythology

Greek Dragons were usually battling in the clouds with lightning bolts thundering by.

Churning up the oceans, and cause storms, and some dragons in Greek Mythology guarded huge treasures in their dragon lair.

In tales of ancient times the Dragon could change his shape and become capable of all kinds of magic.

Many stories explain how the body of the Dragon became the earth itself, and the Greek Dragons have a lot in common with the other stories of Creation, such as Egypt. The link will take you to my Egyptian Dragon page.

More Tales of Dragons in Greek Mythology

Another Dragon in Greek Mythology had a hundred Serpent heads, and battled the God Zeus. As you probably know Zeus lived on Mount Olympus and could be very dangerous and unpredictable.

Zeus slays that particular dragon with a thunder bolt.

In another version of a Greco-Roman Dragon the serpent image is again reflected.

Some tales end with it being held captive as an oracle dispensing great knowledge. Apparently, Greek Dragons such as these had the ability to see the future.

Dragons with Great Knowledge

Their knowledge was astounding.

Hercules consulted the Oracle of the Temple in Delphi, a dragon, and learned how to kill another Dragon with Seven heads.

Some Dragons were sent by Sea Gods such as Poseidon or Neptune in order to wreak havoc on other Gods or Mortals.

They could create huge ocean storms and wipe out villages as well as sailing ships.

The Norse Dragons wreaked havoc on the seas, and the scandinavian ships.

There are legends of dragons from almost every culture imagineable so for some dragons of the Orient follow the link.
