Silmaril

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I interpreted the creation story in the Silmarillion as being at least partly a myth, that is, when the story of the sun and moon is described in the Silmarillion, it's a matter of the Elves speaking figuratively or using their imaginations to explain what they can see from the ground. I assumed that the moon, in reality, is just the same as our moon. But I don't know if that makes the idea of dragons on the moon any more possible for the books other than Roverandom. Considering that the moon does not support life, even if you can stand on it... I wouldn't think so.
