Speaking of dragons:

"And the club swoops from the hands of Baal Like an eagle from His fingers. It strikes the head of Prince Yam, Twixt the eyes of Judge Nahar.

Yam sinks, Falls to the earth. His joints fail His frame collapses. Baal drags and poises Yam Destroys Judge Nahar.

By Name, Astarte rebukes: "Shame, O Aliyan Baal, Shame, O Rider of the Clouds! For Prince Yam was Our captive For Judge River was Our captive."

And there went out Baal, Verily ashamed is Aliyan Baal And Prince Yam is, indeed, dead. So let Baal reign!"

From the Ugaritic Baal Cycle.

"And the lord stood upon Tiamat's hinder parts, And with his merciless club he smashed her skull. He cut through the channels of her blood, And he made the North wind bear it away into secret places."

From the Babylonian Epic of Creation (Enuma Elish).

Nothing new under the sun, baby :)
