Dragons
The English word Dragon derives from the Greek word Triakontoron which means a 30 oared ship also know as a Triakonter. Dragon is a corruption of Trikontoron or 30 Oared Ship. The teeth were the oars. The sown men were the sailors.
Historically Dragons were characterised as winged sea serpents. That is exactly what Trikonters looked like. They had a bow with a figurehead on it, a stern with a tail and the oars moved up and down in unison like wings.
In Linear B spelling Trikon is spelled using exactly the same consonants as Dragon. D and T are the same sound in Mycenean Greek.
The dragon's head was the figurehead on the Trikonter. The dragon's wings were the oars beating up and down as the ship was rowed. There were even Trkonters that breathed out Greek fire.
The same analogy was used for the Hekatoncheres. 100 hands meaning the hands of the fifty rowers inside a Pentaconter. A Hekatoncheri was a 100 handed (or 50 oared boat) boat.
They were all built with figure heads like the Argonautica. All the Viking ones had dragon heads, and as we all know the Vikings originated from Troy (Asgard) according to their own historians.
Viking ships are derivatives of Mycenaean ships as are Greek ships and they had figureheads. The Argonautica specifically states that Greek ships had figureheads and that the Argo was exceptional in that it his its figurehead facing towards the inside of that ship.
Take a look at the murals of Mycenaean and Minoan ships and you will see that they share the same common design as those of the Vikings and everyone else including the Romans all the way until the end of the middle ages.

They had oars and the site states all boats looked like this until the middle ages. Those are the dragon ships.
On top of this Eusebius and Jerome both state that the oars beating up and down in a ship were an allusion to the wings of a bird which is why Icarus and Daedalus were said to have flown away from Crete when in reality they actually fled on a ship.
