Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Evolution of the Dragon (1919) is a landmark work of early anthropology and comparative mythology by G. Elliot Smith-an ambitious investigation into how one of humanity's most enduring symbols, the dragon, took shape and traveled across cultures.Why do distant civilizations share strikin…gly similar myths, rituals, and sacred imagery? Smith approaches this question through artifacts, monuments, funerary traditions, and ancient religious symbolism, arguing that cultural contact and transmission played a major role in the spread of complex ideas.Ancient Egypt stands at the center of Smith's inquiry. He traces connections between Egyptian funerary practice, ritual concepts, and evolving mythic figures-following how themes of life, death, rebirth, and divine power could transform over time into the composite "dragon" motif found far beyond Egypt.Originally delivered as illustrated lectures, the book has an exploratory, evidence-driven character: ideas return, expand, and sharpen from chapter to chapter, giving readers the sense of a mind working through a large, interconnected argument.This Revised Edition preserves the original public-domain text and the author's illustrations while presenting them in a carefully prepared modern format. It includes an editor's foreword and editorial notes, corrected and completed references (including missed citations and self-references in the original), unified figure numbering across the book, bibliography, index of names, places and concepts.Ideal for readers interested in cultural diffusion, ancient Egypt, comparative mythology, dragon symbolism, ritual and religion, ancient art and monuments, and the history of early anthropology. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
