The passion
of St. George by Parsikrates, translation EAW Budge
(1888). Ten letter-pages to dive into the Middle-Ages' symbolic
mysticism and track the origin of the common myth of the Dragon Slayer.
Excerpt: 'Now there was a young man whose name was George, the sun of truth and the glorious star betwixt heaven and earth; he was a tribune in the imperial army, and came from Cappadocia. And when he had served his time as tribune and acquired much wealth, he came to the governor Dadianus and wished to be made a count by him. When Saint George had come to the city and saw the frenzied idolatry of the governors and that they had forsaken God, he straightway decided to give up his rank of tribune, saying, "I will become a soldier of my Lord Jesus Christ the King of heaven."'
