[←467]

The fossils, reconstructed by Science which we know, ought to be sufficient warrant for the possibility of even a Leviathan, not to mention Isaiah’s flying serpents, or Saraph Mehophep, words which are translated in all the Hebrew dictionaries as “Saraph,” enflamed or fiery venom, and “Mehophep,” flying. But, although Christian Theology has always connected both Leviathan and Saraph Mehophep with the Devil, the expressions are metaphorical and have nought to do with the “Evil One.” Nevertheless, the word “Dragon” has now become a synonym for the latter. In Bretagne the word Drouk now signifies “Devil,” whence, as we are told by Cambry (Monuments Celtiques, p. 299), the Devil’s Tomb in England, Droghedanum Sepulcrum. In Languedoc the meteoric fires and will-o’-the-wisps are called Drac, and in Bretagne Dreag and Wraie or wraith; the castle of Drogheda in Ireland meaning the Devil’s castle. (De Mirville, ibid., ii. 423.)
