This would be my artistic interpretation of the myth of Saint George rescuing a princess from sacrifice to a dragon. Although St. George has become the patron saint of England, he didn’t start out as the medieval knight of popular imagination. Instead he was a Roman soldier named Georgius from the province of Cappadocia, in what is now Turkey. Furthermore, his episode with the dragon and the princess took place in “Libya”, which referred to the entire continent of Africa back in antiquity. In some versions of the myth, the princess helps by offering the girdle around her clothes as a leash to capture the beast around the neck.
Also, dragons in older traditions were portrayed as resembling giant snakes rather than the more lizard- or dinosaur-like creatures we imagine nowadays. That’s why this dragon looks rather like an oversized python.
