With Game of Thrones returning to HBO on Sunday, fans may finally find out what happened to the fictional dragons they were left wondering about almost a year ago. But while that particular story will have to wait at least a few more days, there’s plenty of real dragon history to tide us over—and it’s not always so far from what happens in George R.R. Martin’s fantastical universe.Not that it’s easy to pinpoint the first dragon myth, says Christopher Fee, a professor of English at Gettysburg College who has published several books related to dragon-lore, including Mythology in the Middle Ages. Part of the reason is that it’s not easy to pinpoint dragons as an idea.“In today’s world we often define a dragon as a giant, scaly, winged, reptilian beast, often that can breathe fire,” he says. “In the ancient world this wasn’t always the case. They were very often giant serpents of various kinds.”

And that’s not to mention dragons in Asian cultures or the early Mexican deity of the feathered serpent Quetzalcoatl, who are further from the dragons on Game of Thrones. Or that tons of different archaic words have been translated into English as “dragon.” Or the fact that many myths have been refracted through the lenses of various conquering cultures, maintaining their monsters but often losing some of their more complicated pre-monotheistic worldviews. Though some dragon myths are probably independent—anywhere with snakes or lizards could conceivably be a place that generates its own mythical scaly things—they became interwoven over time, Fee says, as travelers and traders brought stories from distant lands.
