    There arent any dragons in greek mythology what you are refering to is called a Drakon which is a very large venomous lizard that can freeze prey with its sight. Its also flightless and is where the folklore of dragons originated.

    Yeah, it's a mesoamerican knife used for sacrifices.

    Imagine that it was used to rip off people's hearts.

    It's a monument for General Maczek, a brilliant polish officer. It's situated on the hill 262 "maczuga".

    It comemorates the battles of the Falaise pocket.

    pikes with musketeers positioned around them lead me to believe these are Spanish troops in the early modern era, maybe the Italian wars?

    Ok, I can't hold off, but if it was a battle from the Italian wars, don't you think there would be knights in there?
