[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 9404281, member: 6701124"] Found the 1969 one on Internet Archive (3rd edition with supplement). Wow that book has a lot of interesting things in it!! In the table of contents "The Repulsing of the Dragon" shows up on page 6 and 11 of the Egyptian part. It reads to me like the author is calling Apophis a dragon and not saying the Egyptians did. Apophis would make a good name choice for one of the underworld or destruction though. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1720877534474.png"]372616[/ATTACH] The serpent (dragon) on the mountain in the west doesn't seem to be given a name beyond "He wo is on the mountain that he may overthrow".

I hadn't seen Kingu (her consort?) before [so I obviously hadn't read into these]. The search also has that Illuyankas is a dragon who beat the storm god (but was later defeated). It doesn't say much about what Illuyankas was like, and like Tiamat you wouldn't know he was a dragon from the table of contents. Apparently "great dragon" is used as a title for a high king: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1720878800606.png"]372624[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1720878826733.png"]372625[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
