  • The Symbolism of the Dragon
    1 THE SYMBOLISM OF THE DRAGON Chinese flying dragon (courtesy of dreamstime.com Ensiferrum 7071168) THE PRIMORDIAL SEVEN, THE FIRST SEVEN BREATHS OF THE DRAGON OF WISDOM, PRODUCE IN THEIR TURN FROM THEIR HOLY CIRCUMGYRATING BREATHS THE FIERY WHIRLWIND. The Stanzas of Dzyan Out of the whirlwind spoke the voice that ignites, that sounds like no voice ever heard. It is, instead, a flame that swirls down out of yawning darkness and scorches the flanks of the trembling world. Amongst the clouds gathered in storm, its fiery curves are sometimes glimpsed and the scraping of its taloned feet echo up the blackened caverns leading to the bowels of the earth. These are aspects of its voice . extensions of its flaming breath. They shine like glittering scales spiralling through the atmosphere. They project forth in the wake of that thunderous tone which issues from the depths of the very source of sound, from the primordial throat which opens out to another world. Thus it is that dragons float at the edge of the universe and near the apertures leading to unknown but frightening realms. Their fiery breath resounds and their reptilian form expands and contracts into myriad shapes described in thousands of stories the world over. But their exact nature remains a mystery and, despite their legendary reputation, for many persons they have never existed. It has been held that the dragon, "while sacred and to be worshipped, has within himself something still more of the divine nature of which it is better to remain in ignorance". Something double-edged is suggested here, and the question of the existence of the dragon deepens to become one of how to approach the Divine without being incinerated by its lower emanations.

This study maintains that some of these puzzling phenomena may derive from riddles, and will focus particularly on some plausible answers that refer to a real creature that has for millennia been valued and hunted by man: the honeybee.

Ignoring them, Rowan told Leaf about what the Dragonslayer did, and Leaf immediately wished to become a dragonslayer himself, but his parents strongly disapprove of the idea. Graphic artist David Bunnett was assigned to design the look of the dragon, and was fed ideas on the mechanics on how the dragon would move, and then rendered the concepts on paper. He was looking outside his window hoping that Wren would come back to The Indestructible City. Guts uses the empowered sword to deal a blazing blast to the Kundalini aiding Daiba, causing the magical beast's large water form to dematerialize. He is essential and will only fight for a short time before returning to his post. The screenplay was eventually accepted by Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions , becoming the two studios' second joint effort after the film Popeye. Archived from the original on August 20, Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called Vermithrax "the greatest dragon yet", and praised the film for its effective evocation of the Dark Ages.

  • AN ABSTRACT of the THESIS of Miranda Renfro for the Master Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Miranda Renfro for the Master of Arts in English presented on 4 November 2014 Title: DYNAMIC DRAGONS: AN EXPLORATION OF ROLE REVERSAL IN THE YOUNG ADULT ADVENTURE CYCLE Abstract approved: ________________________________________________________ Dragons have long been a staple character in literary traditions all around the globe. From ancient Babylonian myth to modern young adult (YA) fiction, the dragon is well-represented within literature as a powerful and mysterious entity. Western culture, in particular, deems the dragon an evil enemy that must be overcome by a hero, while in Eastern cultures the dragon represents a much more natural and benevolent creature that generously bestows wisdom and wealth on worthy subjects. In recent years the stark character contrasts between the dragons of East and West have merged within the realm of Western YA literature to create a new kind of hero, one that still follows the path described by Joseph Campbell in The Hero with a Thousand Faces but challenges traditional perceptions of good and evil, especially where humanity is concerned. Young readers looking for answers to questions about their own identities within YA novels now have the opportunity to explore identity and human nature through the very eyes of the creature they were once taught to fear. Utilizing as a framework Campbell’s adventure cycle and goals found in modern YA literature, this thesis examines two YA novels that cast a dragon as the hero – Cornelia Funke’s Dragon Rider and Rachel Hartman’s Seraphina

  • Inconsistencies in Characters' Speeches in Apollonius' Argonautica
    Inconsistencies in Characters’ Speeches in Apollonius’ Argonautica This paper argues that a number of challenging cruces in Apollonian scholarship can be solved by applying the ancient literary-critical principle of λύσις ἐκ τοῦ προσώπου, or “solution from the character speaking,” known from the ancient Homeric scholiasts and commentators like Porphyry, who gives us this term (ad Il. 3.122, 14.434). This principle holds that inconsistencies arising in a character’s speech may owe not to an oversight on the part of the poet but rather to that character’s point of view or deceptive motives (Dachs 1913, de Jong 2001: xiv, O’Hara 2007: 11). James O’Hara has put this insight to good use in his study of inconsistencies in Roman epic, arguing, for instance, that certain incongruities in the Lycaon episode of Ovid’s Metamorphoses put Jupiter’s reliability as an internal narrator in doubt (O’Hara 2007: 116–118). It is my contention that this type of analysis may be fruitfully applied to Hellenistic epic as well, whence, indeed, Latin poets may have partly derived the technique of characterization through inconsistency. Some problems in Apollonius have already benefitted from this approach; one example is the idea that Pelias invents the religious justification of the quest for the fleece as a pretext for Jason’s suicide mission (see especially Pietsch 1999: 28–49). Malcolm Campbell has noted the applicability of this explanation to a variety of cruces (see Campbell 1971: 416), but has not argued the point at any length, and for other vexed passages, this solution has yet to be proposed.

You might wonder why I would go through the trouble of converting draconic hybrids that, at first glance, might not seem much different than half-dragons obtained through application of the template. The answer is that the old monsters just give different results, which feed directly into different flavor. (One thing you’ll notice is that the different dragon varieties have a greater impact on the hybrids than the half-dragons.) It’s also nice to see some “classics” brought back to life. Mostly, though, it’s just a labor of love. As an aside, you’ll see “designer’s
