Stories about storm-gods slaying giant serpents occur throughout nearly all Near Eastern and Indo-European mythologies. Draconic creatures are first described in the mythologies of the ancient Near East and appear in ancient Mesopotamian art and literature. Myth origins Several bones purported to belong to the Wawel Dragon hang outside of Wawel Cathedral, but actually belong to a Pleistocene mammal.ĭraconic creatures appear in virtually all cultures around the globe and the earliest attested reports of draconic creatures resemble giant snakes. The Greek word probably derives from an Indo-European base * derḱ- meaning 'to see' the Sanskrit root दृश् ( dr̥ś-) also means 'to see'. This is thought to have referred to something with a 'deadly glance,' or unusually bright or 'sharp' eyes, or because a snake's eyes appear to be always open each eye actually sees through a big transparent scale in its eyelids, which are permanently shut. The Greek word δράκων is most likely derived from the Greek verb δέρκομαι ( dérkomai) meaning 'I see', the aorist form of which is ἔδρακον ( édrakon).

The Greek and Latin term referred to any great serpent, not necessarily mythological.

The word dragon entered the English language in the early 13th century from Old French dragon, which, in turn, comes from the Latin: draconem (nominative draco) meaning 'huge serpent, dragon', from Ancient Greek δράκων, drákōn (genitive δράκοντος, drákontos) 'serpent'.
