O ovoj e-knjizi
Chimeric Beasts explores the captivating history and artistry of hybrid creatures like griffins, sphinxes, and dragons across various cultures. These composite beings, found in mythology and folklore, reveal the values, fears, and aspirations of the societies that conceived them.

These creatures embody complex ideas, serving as potent symbols of cultural identity and power.
The book analyzes the origins and development of specific creatures, such as griffins in the Near East and Greece, sphinxes in Egypt, and dragons in Eastern and Western traditions. It then explores their symbolic roles in heraldry, religious iconography, and political propaganda.
By integrating perspectives from art history, anthropology, and comparative mythology, Chimeric Beasts offers a unique perspective on the cultural significance of these creatures. The book progresses from defining chimeric beasts to exploring their origins and symbolic roles, culminating in an examination of their enduring presence in modern culture.
