Drakon: Dragon Myth and Serpent Cult in the Greek and Roman Worlds
Ogden, Daniel (Professor of Ancient History, University of Exeter, and Research Fellow, University of South Africa)
This volume explores the dragon or the supernatural serpent in Graeco-Roman myth and religion. It incorporates analyses, with comprehensive accounts of the rich literary and iconographic sources, for the principal dragons of myth, and discusses matters of cult and the paradoxical association of dragons and serpents with the most benign of deities.
