Láur’marillá…’ she shivered at speaking the name with a morbid thrill, ‘found her lover… Illuyankas the Wyrm, who rose up from his deep domains to speak with whales, for he was wise with age and wished to hear of more than his realm, as any good leader and protector would do.
Instead, he found Illuyankas, who by all records was one of the greatest Wyrms ever to have lived, and I don’t doubt it… he had killed or eaten everything in the seas even approaching his size for thousands of Passings, and he was as potent in body as he is now in spirit.
From her words, she found that Illuyankas himself was wandering about in the ether, and tried with his potency to sustain a Telera’s unborn child as pirates took her as a slave.’

Of course, with a fiery breath, massive teeth, sharp claws and an armoured, whip-like tail, it is not hard to see how such a dangerous creature would demand nothing short of our respect and fear.
Early dragons appear in ancient Greek myths, such as the serpent Python who was created by the goddess Hera to chase Leto (Graves, 1985), who had lain with Hera's husband Zeus, or the dragon Illuyankas who fought against the Weather God (Fontenrose, 1959).
These, along with many more, were frequently portrayed with malicious intent and satiated their battlelust with fervent vigour- a personality trait that has, on a more bestial level, been mirrored exactly with later dragons.
