About this deal
George stands besides a cynocephalous St. Christopher, both saints treading on snakes with human heads, and aiming at their heads with spears. [9]
A 17th-century broadside ballad paid homage to the feat of George's dragon slaying. Titled "St. George and the Dragon", the ballad considers the importance of Saint George in relation to other heroes of epic and Romance, ultimately concluding that all other heroes and figures of epic or romance pale in comparison to the feats of George.

The actual name is Skub (genitive Skuba) in the original writing, but later writers altered it to Skuba (genitive Skuby). [22]I desired dragons with a profound desire. Of course, I in my timid body did not wish to have them in the neighborhood. But the world that contained even the imagination of Fáfnir was richer and more beautiful, at whatever the cost of peril."
