This unique book explores the myth of Perseus as a springboard to explore dragons across cultures, from fire-breathing beasts of Greek legend to symbolic figures in medieval Europe. Stokes dissects how these mythical creatures evolved in storytelling. He then ventures beyond myth, suggesting potential roots in Egyptian beliefs and arguing that dragons represent humanity's own destructive tendencies. Buckle up for a journey where slaying the dragon might mean slaying our own societal ills.
