Dragons in Greek mythology

Dragons (Greek: δράκοι) play a significant role in Greek mythology. Though the Greek drakōn often differs from the modern Western conception of a dragon, it is both the etymological origin of the modern term and by extension the source of many surviving Indo-European myths and legends about dragons.
