[46] [47] [48] The Chinese scholar Wen Yiduo suggested that this fantastic collection of beastly parts was actually based on the political union of several different tribes, each with a different animal as their totem. The dragon was, therefore, a symbolic representation of the assimilation of these tribes into a single nation. An interesting hypothesis, it does not, however, explain the appearance of dragons long before any such political associations existed in early Chinese communities.

Chengis’ life was shaped by women, by his wife Borte and his mother Hoelun. He had gone to war for Borte, in defiance of all tradition, and he strived to balance the Mountain and the River—the male and female elements that, when combined, formed the strongest bond under the blue sky according to Mongolian spiritual belief.

Bibliography

In Pindar's Fourth Pythian Ode, Aeëtes of Colchis tells the hero Jason that the Golden Fleece he is seeking is in a copse guarded by a dragon, "which surpassed in breadth and length a fifty-oared ship". [112] Jason slays the dragon and makes off with the Golden Fleece together with his co-conspirator, Aeëtes's daughter, Medea. [113] The earliest artistic representation of this story is an Attic red-figure kylix dated to c. 480–470 BC, [114] showing a bedraggled Jason being disgorged from the dragon's open mouth as the Golden Fleece hangs in a tree behind him and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, stands watching. [114] [101] A fragment from Pherecydes of Athens states that Jason killed the dragon, [113] but fragments from the Naupactica and from Herodorus state that he merely stole the Fleece and escaped. [113] In Euripides's Medea, Medea boasts that she killed the Colchian dragon herself. [113] In the final scene of the play, Medea also flies away on a chariot pulled by two dragons. [115] In the most famous retelling of the story from Apollonius of Rhodes's Argonautica, Medea drugs the dragon to sleep, allowing Jason to steal the Fleece. [116] Greek vase paintings show her feeding the dragon the sleeping drug in a liquid form from a phialē, or shallow cup.
