Once there was a land beset by a dragon. The dragon breathed noxious fumes that poisoned the water and the countryside. To try and appease the dragon, the city paid it tribute in the form of farm animals, but those quickly ran out. They were left with no choice but to sacrifice village members to the dragon. But along came a mythic knight named George with a crazy idea: What if we killed the dragon instead?

Growing up in Sweden, I was told this story but waaaay different. It began with Georges (called Göran in Sweden) father testamenting his possessions to his sons, and since George was the youngest, he only got a cloak, a walking stick and a donkey. George then det of and ended up in a chapel close to the plagued city, where he took service. The chapelmaster told him about the situation that the innkeep said here, and George immedietely rode his donkey to rescue the princess. When he arrived she was praying for her life and a lightning from a clear sky turned Georges donkey into a white horse, his cloak into a shining armour and his walking stick into a sword. The dragon shocked from the lightning fel on its back, and George slayed it, saving the princess.

This is all much less epic when you learn that the "dragon" that inspired the legend was most likely a large monitor lizard. The oldest depictions have the dragon looking very much like a big lizard, with no wings, and a small forked "flame" coming from its mouth that looks suspiciously like the forked tongue that flicks in an out of a monitor lizard's mouth. Side note: monitor lizards are reasonably common in those areas, and a big one is no joke. Nile monitors grow to over 6 ft in length, are extremely fast and active hunters, excellent swimmers, and have mildly toxic bites... easily capable of killing and eating many types of farm animals or unprepared humans. Black-throated monitors are another possibility, slightly shorter in length but more heavily built than Nile monitors. Africa and the middle east have many different species of these large lizards to chose from.

I think the town slowly tamed the dragon without realizing by giving it food. Man, they would have had a pet dragon to protect them. But they killed it!!!

Seems to be. There was a historical Christian martyr referred to as George of Lydda.

From what I know, he was christian from the start, but sainthood in general is extremely hit-or-miss in Christianity, with some sects doing saint stuff, some not, and some despising the whole practice.

Saint George's story, sounds very similar to Perseus myth where he saves the Greek Princess Andromeda from being sacrificed to Sea Monster Cetus. Wouldn't be surprised that the story of Saint George like many other christian myths were originally pagan myths that were ported over, as the European continent was being Christianized.

In Warhammer 40k lore, Saint George is actually one of the identities of the man who would eventually be known as the Emperor of Mankind. The dragon he slew was an alien entity known as the Void Dragon, one of the C'tan.

To be fair the legend differs depending on the place like well a legend Am a orthodox Christian from Egypt and in Egypt George killed the dragon with his spear Also the dragon killed alot of kids so I ain’t having sympathy for it plus there is also that little fact that it also told to be a demon
