St George: the Indo-European Dragonslayer

Saint George was a Christian Greek soldier of the Roman Empire, from Cappadocia or perhaps Syria who was martyred for refusing to sacrifice to the Roman gods.He was a heroic figure to people right across Christendom and one who was particularly attractive to soldiers because he had been one himself.The serpent as a symbol in stories and art represents the external, the other, the great enemy, the demons, the evil that wants nothing but to destroy us.And the dragon-slayer therefore represents order, stability, continuity.He is the strong arm of the mighty that keeps chaos at bay.*Support the Channel*Patreon ➜ https://www.patreon.com/dandavisauthorPayPal ➜ https://paypal.me/DanDavisAuthorKo-fi ➜ https://ko-fi.com/dandavis*My Books*Your FREE Bronze Age fantasy story the Wolf God ➜ http://dandavisauthor.com/The Immortal Knight Chronicles: US ➜ https://amzn.to/3xXsDClUK ➜ https://amzn.to/3h8GrDkAll my books on Amazon:US ➜ https://amzn.to/3xngwz5UK ➜ https://amzn.to/3aEXDOk*My Links*Website http://dandavisauthor.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dandavisauthor/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DanDavisWritesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dandavisauthor/*Sources*How to Kill a Dragon: Aspects of Indo-European Poetics - Calvert Watkins: https://amzn.to/3yeyXXeMyth, Ritual, and the Warrior in Roman and Indo-European Antiquity - Roger D.
