Definition of the word dragon

The Greek word "drakon" is thought to be derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "der-" meaning "to see" or "to perceive," possibly referring to the creatures' sharp gaze or piercing eyes. The Greek's symbol for Drakon was the Ouroboros, a snake devouring its own tail, representing eternity and cyclical renewal. Throughout history, the concept of dragons has evolved, symbolizing both good and evil, and has appeared in various cultures, myths, and legends. Today, the word "dragon" is synonymous with fire-breathing, scale-covered creatures, often representing power, strength, and mythical proportions.
