Mythology or history?
I was told the translation of this yesterday and apparently there’s this serpent-like dragon / beast (maybe similar to Babylonian stories of evil beasts?) and he is terrorizing the people of Tigray in this image.
They get a “concoction” and trick the beast into eating it to defeat him. The one who defeats the beast is allegedly the started of the Solomonic dynasty (could be wrong on that part? anyone who can read this please correct me).
Does anyone know of any anecdotal or other stories regarding such a beast?
