History deconstructed

The dragon got shafted – literally and figuratively.

All those depiction of St George thrusting his shaft into the dragon and killing him and that dragon is never bigger than a medium sized crocodile. How could such a small creature create such devastation?

The story got misconstrued to make St George into a hero. But marble statues don’t lie!!!

But tradition has to start somewhere.
