About this ebook
Serpent Kings explores the pervasive role of serpent figures across world history, religion, and diverse cultures. It examines how these symbols, embodying both wisdom and terror, have been linked to power and knowledge since ancient times. Serpents often represented fertility and the cyclical nature of life in early agricultural societies, reflecting humanity's attempts to understand unpredictable natural forces. The book uniquely analyzes recurring themes in serpent mythology, revealing patterns in human thought.
The book progresses by first establishing a foundation with primary serpent myths. The following sections then build upon this by analyzing the role of serpent monarchs in antiquity and the use of serpentine imagery as a representation of power. Drawing from archaeological findings, religious texts, and anthropological studies, Serpent Kings connects serpent symbolism to fundamental aspects of human psychology and societal development, demonstrating how ancient perceptions inform contemporary attitudes toward power and the environment.
