The famous dragon-slaying story? It was a late addition, like adding a unicorn to a grocery list. The tale goes that a dragon was terrorizing a Libyan city, demanding a daily sacrifice of sheep—and eventually, the king’s daughter. George rides in, spears the beast, and converts the entire city to Christianity.
Let’s be real: this is pure propaganda with a side of Saturday morning cartoon. Dragons don’t exist, and the story was written hundreds of years after George died. But it’s a banger of a tale. A princess, a monster, and a guy in shiny armor. Hollywood still uses this formula.
Fun fact: the dragon is actually a metaphor for paganism or evil. But try explaining that to a kid who just wants to see a lizard get stabbed. Spoiler: they don’t care.
