The influence of both these dragons is very visible in a lot of our more modern fantasy: for instance, where Beowulf&#8217;s Dragon inspired Smaug, o chiefest and greatest of calamities, Fafnir inspired C. S. Lewis to include that cursed bracelet thing that turned Eustace into a dragon in <em>Voyage of the Dawn Treader<\/em>. And I think we all know the badder of those two dragons, so I guess Tolkien &mdash; and, by extension, <em>Beowulf<\/em> &mdash; wins this round.<\/p>\n<p>Where was I? Right.
