The Evil, Medieval Ancestors of Modern Dragons - Teaching with Themes

Dragons are everywhere in 21st-century popular culture: books, movies, novels, games, and decorative arts. Dragons are also historical, roaming in cultures throughout the world since ancient times. They fly, slither, and swim in the folklore and myths of past cultures in the Americas, Africa, the Near and Far East, India, and Europe. However, when it comes to dragons, history does not always repeat itself. Modern dragons may appear similar to those from the past, but their uses and meanings vary, reflecting the beliefs of the culture that spawned them.
