The artist's meticulous engraving technique brings to life a terrifying mythical creature with its jaws wide open, ready to consume the fallen companions of Cadmus. In this haunting image, blood spills from severed bodies as brave men fight valiantly against the monstrous dragon. Goltzius skillfully captures every detail - from the agonizing expressions on their faces to the sinewy muscles rippling under their skin. The nakedness of these heroes adds vulnerability and emphasizes their humanity in contrast to the ferocity of the beast they face.

It transports us back to an era when mythological creatures were believed to roam freely, instilling both fear and awe in those who encountered them. Displayed in museums worldwide, this artwork stands as a testament to Goltzius' mastery and his ability to evoke strong emotions through his engravings.
