DragonsThe constellation, Draco, harks back to Greek mythology and the labors of Hercules. Juno sent him off to retrieve the golden apples that had been a wedding present to her from the goddess of the Earth. The fruit had been left with the daughters of Hesperus, in a garden guarded by a hundred-headed dragon. Hercules sought the help of Atlas, the Titan who had been sentenced to bear the weight of the heavens on his shoulders. Atlas was the father of the Hesperides, and Hercules counted on him locating the apples. But when Atlas pointed out the difficulty of getting past the dragon, Hercules threw his spear into the garden and killed it. In reward for his faithful service, Juno raised the dragon to the heavens as the stars forming Draco. In Roman mythology, Hercules counterpart, Herakles, battled the mighty Hydra. Although it is described as having the body of a serpent, and innumerable heads, it is still considered a dragon, with a dragon’s mysterious ability to survive the most desperate of injuries. For whenever Herakles cut off one head, another two would grow. Finally, a nephew suggested he burn the stump of each head’s neck, and while that succeeded in stopping new heads from sprouting, even the mighty Herakles could not destroy the dragon itself. In the end, he trapped it in a cave, and rolled a massive boulder into the opening, sealing the dragon’s fate. From these type of stories, we know that dragons existed at least in imagery and folklore, before the modern Bible was written. But it is in the early Jewish texts that Yaweh defeats the monstrous Leviathan, whose description most closely aligns with the concept of a dragon. In the Book of Job, God describes the fire from its mouth, and how the water boiled up out of the sea. As in all things that touch on religion, the camps are divided when it comes to what Leviathan was, or wasn’t. Those who believe it was not a real creature, theorize that Leviathan was a metaphor for evil, and people who did not believe in God. On the other hand, are the more open-minded scholars, who suggest that if God could make bugs that glow, and eels that have electrical impulses, then it is entirely possible that He also made a dragon that blew smoke from its nostrils. The modern interpretation of what a dragon looks like, arises primarily from the concept that originated in Europe- that of a winged, web-footed creature that breathed fire and was usually of a violent nature, unlike the peaceful Chinese dragon. Part of that portrayal is thought to come from the biblical images of violence, and evil, making it a creature of Satan. However, sometimes even the bad guys turn out to be good. Or do they? The 1959 song “Puff the Magic Dragon”, originally penned by Cornell student Leonard Lipton, was a lament to lost childhood, and kept that theme when it was re-written by singer Peter Yarrow and recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary. The song, which became #2 on Billboard’s charts in 1963, fell victim to the drug culture of the 1960s, and touted as a song about smoking marijuana, it was yanked from many playlists. Puff was relegated to the live concert circuit where he remains a popular folk song to this day. | ||||||||
