THE http://wiki.answers.com/../greek-mythology/dragons.htmlSKYTHIA was the first ruler of the land of Skythia. She was a woman from the waist up with the serpentine tail of a Drakon in place of legs. When Herakles visited her realm leading the cattle of Geryon, she stole some of the herd and insisted the hero mate with her before she would return them.
The Skythian Drakaina was probably identified with the monster http://wiki.answers.com/DrakainaEkhidna1.html, who was sometimes placed in the Skythian land of Arimoi. The Drakaina's story is undoubtedly a Greek translation of a Skythian myth. Her serpentine form, the birthing of the first men, and the title "Hora" (Season) all indicate that she was a native earth-goddess.
