    DID GLOOSKAP KILL THE DRAGON ON THE KENNEBEC? ROSLYN STRONG Figure 1. Rubbing of the "dragon" petroglyph Figure 2. Rock in the Kennebec River, Embden, Maine The following is a revised version of a slide presentation I gave at a NEARA meeting a number of years ago. I have accumulated so many fascinating pieces of reference that the whole subject should really be in two parts, so I will focus here on the dragon legends and in a future article will dwell more on the mythology of the other petroglyphs, such as thunderbirds. This whole subject began for me at least eight years ago when George Carter wrote in his column "Before Columbus" in the Ellsworth American that only Celtic dragons had arrows on their tails. The dragon petroglyph [Fig. 1] is on a large rock [Fig. 2] projecting into the Kennebec river in the town of Embden, which is close to Solon, in central Maine. It is just downstream from the rapids, and before the water level was raised by dams, would have been a logical place to put in after a portage. The "dragon" is one of over a hundred petroglyphs which includes many diverse subjects - there are quite a few canoes, animals of various kinds, human and ‘thunderbird’ figures. They were obviously done over a long period of time since there are many layers and the early ones are fainter. They are all pecked or ‘dinted’ which is the term used by archaeologists. The styles and technique seem to be related to the petroglyphs at Peterborough, Ontario, which in turn appear to be similar to those in Bohuslan, Sweden.

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.
