Myth III: "Here There Be Dragons"
Though the notion that medieval maps marked the edge of the known world with the phrase "Here There Be Dragons (or Tygers, or Monsters)" is wide-spread in our society, I don't know anyone who has ever figured out how the myth was started. To begin with, let me take the time and space here to provide you the complete list of known medieval maps including this rubric in any language: the Lenox Globe (ca. 1503-7), which bears the Latin phrase "hic sunt dracones" (i.e., "here are dragons") on the eastern coast of Asia. That's it. So how the phrase ever gained the legendary status that we assume it to have is absolutely mystifying. Erin C. Blake has compiled a wonderful list of dragon and similar monster references in maps, but even this annotated list fails to uncover any medieval references other than the Lenox Globe. That the source of the myth is unknown, however, does not change the bare fact that it is, nevertheless, a myth.
Are there still flat earthers ???
Of course. I've seen the dragons on maps.
