Edith Hamilton remarked that the use of the terrifyingly irrational was rare in Greek Mythology. the absence of (dragons) or similar monsters is a good point here, they do not figure in classical Greek mythology, though there are various types of monsters such as the Cyclops, Harpies, Stymphalian birds, etc. all of these are mythical. It has been argued the cyclops might have been inspired by the one-eyed appearance of a Mining Helmet!

In their mythology, the Greeks often had monsters and creatures that were original in their form and species. What we might classify as a "dragons" include the hydra, the chimera, the serpent that killed Laocoon and his sons, Ladon the hundred-headed dragon that guarded the golden apples, etc. While the dragon as an animal was not conceived by the Greeks, they nonetheless had them in their mythology.
