The term "dragons" can refer to two main concepts depending on the context:
- Mythological Dragons: Dragons are legendary, magical creatures found in the folklore of many cultures worldwide. They often have reptilian, mammalian, and avian features. In Western cultures, dragons are commonly depicted as winged and fire-breathing, while in Eastern cultures, they tend to be wingless, serpentine, and intelligent creatures symbolizing power and good fortune. Dragons appear in many myths and stories, like the dragon slain by Saint George or the dragon figures in Korean and Persian mythology.
- Dragons on Dragons' Den: The "Dragons" are also the panel of wealthy investors on the British business reality TV show "Dragons' Den." They listen to pitches from entrepreneurs and decide whether to invest in their businesses. The current Dragons include Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Sara Davies, Steven Bartlett, and Touker Suleyman, each successful in various industries.
So, "the dragons" might be referring to either the mythical creatures of global folklore or the influential investors on the TV show "Dragons' Den," depending on which context you mean.
