Scythians - Serpent Seed, Children of Melusine, Dragon Kings
Could the prevalence of mermaid symbolism be leading humanity into the transgenic era? Transgenic is a term that describes an organism containing genes from another organism put into its genome through recombinant DNA techniques. A transgenic organism is one that contains a gene or genes which have been artificially inserted instead of the organism acquiring them through reproduction.
Diodorus provides another version of the origin of the Scythians by claiming that: “Born in that land from the conjugal union of Zeus and a snake-legged goddess was a son Scyth, who gave the people the name Scythian.” Somewhat similar to Diodorus’ version of the origin of the Scythians, an epigraphic version of the origin of the Scythians said that Heracles would unite with Echidna. This union produced two offspring - Agathyrsus and Scythes, who became the progenitors of Scythians.
