Dragons /Serpents feature in many different mythologies

Hercules, St. Michael, St. George, Siegfried and Apollo are all dragon- slayers. The snakes sent by Juno were strangled by the infant Hercules; Pythos the serpent / dragon occupant of Delphi was slain by Apollo.

St. Patrick drove the serpents from Ireland, and from Lundy

The Garden of Eden has a snake and an apple.

Uther Pendragon - father of Arthur
