Description

St George Knight, Martyr, Patron Saint and Dragonslayer by Giles Morgan explores the enduring legacy of a soldier saint whose story has captivated people across multiple cultures. From his early Christian martyrdom in the Roman Empire to his adoption as patron by various nations, including England, Germany, Hungary, and Portugal, St George's tale is one of bravery and the eternal struggle between good and evil. The myth of St George's victory over a dragon can be seen as representing individual courage or the battle between good and evil. This story shares parallels with pre-Christian heroes such as Perseus and Beowulf, and has connections to Islamic hero Al Khidr. The Green Man of Pre-Christian Myth also features in his narrative. This book provides insight into the complexities of St George's legend, shedding light on a figure whose significance extends beyond England to Ethiopia, Egypt, Greece, and other countries.
