Religion and Mythlogy

 As stated before, not even the Chinese, who are known for their use of dragons in mythology and folklore, have included the bearded dragon species. Religion and mythology dates back thousands of years while bearded dragons as pets, or even just as moderately known animals, began in the late 1900’s. It is no wonder why they are not as popular as the mythical Chinese dragons. The dragons that the Chinese do use in their mythology, though, are depicted in a positive light and are seen as magical and powerful creatures. It is common to read about kings who can turn into dragons or people turning into these creatures when they are looking for magic or power. The Chinese dragon is greatly admired in their mythology. Greek mythology, on the other hand, has been seen to include dragons from time to time, but the dragons are seen as villainous creatures that cause trouble and are pests to the Greek people. It is interesting to see that two groups can depict the same animal in such unalike ways.   http://fairrosa.info/dragon/
