Baal, St. George, and Khidr: A Study of the Historical Geography of the Levant

by Robert D. Miller II

In Western tradition, St. George is known as the dragon slayer. In the Middle East, he is called Khidr ("Green One"), and in addition to being a dragon slayer, he is also somehow the prophet Elijah. In this book, Robert D. Miller II untangles these complicated connections and reveals how, especially in his Middle Eastern guise, St. George is a reincarnation of the Canaanite storm god Baal, another "Green One" who in Ugaritic texts slays dragons.
