With action-packed battles, intricate world-building, and a coming-of-age story at its core, ""Perseus or of Dragons"" is a thrilling adventure that will captivate readers of all ages.1925. The author explains that the first four sections of this book are intended to give a fair account of the dragon as known to history: in ancient Greece, in early Christendom, and in modern Europe. The last two endeavor to explain how the dragon story may have originated from the myths and customs of prehistoric Egypt, and how humanly foolish the whole thing is; and they close with the pious hope that the species may in time become extinct.
