King Solomon, the greatest of the ancient biblical kings. As the son of the slayer of Goliath, David, Solomon inherited the throne of Israel. One night in his youth Solomon prayed to God, appearing in his dream God asked him what he wanted and Solomon asked God for the wisdom to rule his people justly and fairly. Moved by his earnest and selfless wish, God granted his wish and more, granting him great knowledge, the ability to talk to animals and awakening his magical abilities. To thank the god that granted him such wisdom, Solomon began construction of the first temple. However its construction was constantly hindered and destroyed by demons, so Solomon once again asked God for guidance. In response the archangel Michael descended to Solomon and bestowed upon him a ring that could capture and control demons, with it he imprisoned the demons and forced them to complete the temple dedicated to their eternal enemy. Solomon’s archenemy was Asmodeus, a demon of lust who constantly troubled Solomon. One story details that after casting Solomon’s ring into a river, Asmodeus threw Solomon across the world, causing the king to lose the throne and his riches. Despite this Solomon was able to recover his ring and defeat Asmodeus, reclaiming his spot on the throne. Solomon held many wives as king, with some stating over 700. Many of his wives were the queens and princesses of other kingdoms, such as the Queen of Sheba and the pharaoh’s daughter. After his death his son Rehoboam took over the throne, however under his rule the kingdom of Israel suffered and ultimately fractured.

King Solomon is a greatly revered monarch among the Abrahamic faiths, especially among the more mystic branches of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Gnosticism. Though the practice of sorcery in the Abrahamic faiths can be traced back to the beginning of the Jewish faith, Solomon has still been an important figure throughout mysticism. The book that really sparked demonology was the Testament of Solomon, an extra biblical book that detailed the many demons who Solomon captured, this book was used as reference for the Key of Solomon, which laid out the framework for demon classification. Solomon also appears frequently in the One Thousand and One Nights, mostly mentioned off hand, however in one story he imprisoned a jinn within a bottle thrown into the sea, this story is thought to have evolved from the story Solomon’s combat against Asmodeus. The royal family of Ethiopia claimed to be descendants of Solomon as well as holding the ark of the covenant, similarly Ethiopia was the first country to officially adopt Christianity as a religion. The historicity of Solomon is debated among researchers, however the consensus is that he most likely did exist, but the splendor of his kingdom was most likely exaggerated.

i know every character who cares about mutt has high blood pressure i just know it. this mf will disappear and u won’t be able to reach him. he might leave a note but it’s vague shit like “out – mutt”. in verses where cellphones exist, he never takes his with him, he leaves that thing at home. it’s superfluous to him anyway. oh the streetlights came on? forget it. he’s just getting started exploring a quarter of the city he hasn’t been to often.

lets see.

all sauropods fall under the qualifications of a drake, as well as early crocodilians and other land reptiles.

later theropods such as velociraptors could qualify as wyverns due to their feathered front arms and later evolution into gliding with said feathers.

aquatic reptiles and sauropods would be classified as leviathans. (iirc leviathans are sort of related to dragons?) theres also how said reptiles later evolved into sea snakes, so theres a serpent!

pterosaurs and other flying reptiles are the literal definition of a wyvern as well.

dinosaurs are dragons. this means birds are modern dragons. in this essay i will
