Abstract (en)

Suggests the origins of the legend of S. George can be traced back to ancient iconographic and literary references from the third millennium BC in the Near East. Reproduces ancient images of mythical creatures, including variations of snakes and lions, that could be sources for depictions of S. George and the dragon in the Middle Ages and later.
