    The Dragon Syndrome
    The Dragon Syndrome

    Opinions & Discussions By Uncle Thor

    Some years ago, I read a delightful book entitled “The Hobbit.” The story revolved around a tiny fellow known as a Hobbit. He had gone on a quest. In the story, he encountered a ferocious dragon named Smaug. This Dragon guarded a hoard of treasure in his underground lair. The hobbit took a piece of that treasure, and it sent the dragon into a frenzy

    Smaug is not alone. The tales of Fafnir and the dragon of Beowulf also deal with reptilian horrors which have hoards. These beasts guard their treasures with a jealousy unmatched by any mere mortal.

    The dragons are reminiscent of the Gnostic “Gospel of Thomas.” In one passage, the gospel reads: “They are like dogs guarding a manger. They let none pass to eat, and they do not eat themselves.” The dogs are like dragons. Dogs have no use for the fodder in a manger, and dragons cannot use treasure. Nonetheless, both guard their territory with ferocious intensity.
