This myth originated universally from the time humans were able to speak with each other. Reptiles are things that we are inherrently afraid of due to their nature of beins so different from us, and that many of them are terribly dangerous to encounter due to poisons, the emthods they eat, and our relative inability to defend against them (like alligators or anacondas)

It is one of the wonders of natural evolution of our species that Homo Sapiens all, universally formed some form of this myth. But to pinpoint an exact date would be tragically impossible. People have been afraid of giant reptiles since they first encountered alligators, crocodiles, and stumbled across the fossils of huge dinosaurs. Good luck to anyone researching this exact question....dragons pre-date the epic of Gilgamesh (one of the earliest written documents) and Beowulf (the oldest document written in English)
