  • Did Glooskap Kill the Dragon on the Kennebec? Roslyn
    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.

REVERENCE OF THE AUTHOR. I think Scandinavian Paganism, to us here, is more interesting than any other. It is, for one thing, the latest ; it continued in these regions of Europe till the eleventh century : eight hundred years ago the Norwegians were still worshipers of Odin. It is interesting also as the creed of our fathers ; the men whose blood still runs in our veins, whom doubtless we still resemble in so many ways. Strange : they did believe that, while we believe so differently. Let us look a little at this poor Norse creed, for many reasons. We have tolerable means to do it ; for there is another point of interest in these Scandinavian mythologies : that they have been preserved so well. Neither is there no use in knowing something about this old Paganism of our fathers. Unconsciously, and combined with higher things, it is in us yet, that old faith withal.

He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow , and never continueth in one stay. In the mid of life we are in death (1662 Anglican Church "Burial of the Dead"). *** But mark, madam, we live amongst riddles and mysteries—the most obvious things, which come in our way, have dark sides, which the quickest sight cannot penetrate into; and even the clearest and most exalted understandings amongst us find ourselves puzzled and at a loss in almost every cranny of nature's works. Laurence Sterne (1713-68) Stepping out of the shadows…I…. Rhetoric, as a subject of investigation, is perhaps older than the invention of writing. One piece of evidence for this is its root in the Indo-European word, aera , "to say (something) with a specific intention" (Greek ρ in direct descent to the modern 1 age; please see Buck, entry under "speak, say,"). Another kind of evidence is the abundance of treatises on rhetoric, Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian, Burke, Booth and Ong to mention some of the most prominent. Despite their differences in method, all these authors would perhaps agree that the key ingredient of rhetoric is author/speaker intentionality— the power of minds to be about, to represent, or to stand for, things, properties and states of affairs plus non-existent things.
