Are dragon legends evidence that dinosaurs lived with man, or?

Are dragon legends evidence that man found dinosaur bones and told legends about them?

Which is more reasonable?

(And the Bible book of Job does not describe dinosaurs, so please do not use that reasoning.)

Dino and man footprints found together? Creationists say no:
"In 1986 a number of leading creationist researchers decided that the evidence of supposedly human and dinosaur footprints, found together at the Paluxy River in Texas, had serious problems. They decided that, pending further research to establish the correct interpretation of the prints, they could no longer be safely used as evidence ... that man and dinosaur lived at the same time."

About Behemoth in Job, please read in 40:21 that it lies under the lotus tree, is concealed by reeds, and lies in swamps. Verse 23 adds that it lives in a raging river. Both are physically impossible for a sauropod dinosaur. The actions of its tail in verse 17 are compared to a cedar, not that it looked like a cedar, otherwise its neck would look like a tree too, but no mention is made of that.
