Also the name of a Star Trek Voyager episode and a Greek myth involving Jason of the Argo.

In the episode, Voyager stumbles on a subspace corridor network that traverses the entire Delta Quadrant, maybe another faster way home. However, they offend the current overseers of this transit system, and are forced to land on an unassuming planet. There they find cryogenic frozen soldiers of the former alien civilization that had overseen the transit system, who laid claim to a vast galactic empire and may once seek to do it again as they spring back up.

In the myth, when the teeth of these dragons are planted, then warriors would grow up from the ground. It became Jason's test to sow these teeth without dying to gain the Golden Fleece, Medea (Jason's lover and daughter of King Aeetes, who possessed the Golden Fleece) advised him to throw a stone in-between the planted teeth, thus ensuring the dragon warriors would be divided and fight each other.
