Explore the origins, history, and evolution of the dragon, a creature that dominates transcultural mythology and folklore.

In The Evolution of the Dragon, G. Elliot Smith presents a compelling study of comparative mythology, tracing the dragon’s transformation across cultures and history. From water and rain gods to fiery symbols of the devil, this timeless beast has taken on countless forms and meanings in human storytelling.

First published in 1919, this book is a collection of three lecture series essays, exploring how dragons have been symbolised across the globe. In some traditions, the dragon represents life, vitality, and the forces of nature, and in others it embodies chaos or malevolence. Yet, despite their differences, almost every culture shares a version of this mythical creature, making it a universal symbol of humanity’s imagination and beliefs.
