The Dragon of the Western Culture




Western dragons are a big part of the culture because of the story of King Arthur. During medieval times, it was seen as a major accomplishment to slay a dragon. This is because in most of the Western civilizations, dragons were seen as dangerous and evil. They were enormous and had wings that allowed them to fly. Not only could they fly, but they also breathed fire. This meant that in order for anyone to be able to slay one of these kinds of dragons, he had to be strong and fearless. It was said that many knights died trying to slay dragons.
