| | Draco |
 | | Draco comes from the word meaning to see or watch, and the dragon is often guarding something such as the golden apples in the garden of the Hesperides. |
 | | Draco was described in the Shield of Hercules, with the two Dogs, the Hare, Orion, and Perseus, as "The scaly horror of a dragon, coiled, full in the central field". |
 | | Draco's stars were circumpolar about 5000 BCE, and, like all those similarly situated, - of course few in number owing to the low latitude of the Nile country, - were much observed in early Egypt, although differently figured than as with us. |
