"...that famous story of St. George and the Dragon; which dragon I maintain to have been a whale; for in many old chronicles whales and dragons are strangely jumbled together, and often stand for each other. (Thou art as a lion of the waters, and as a dragon of the sea,) saith Ezekiel; hereby, plainly meaning a whale..." Herman Melville as quoted in Moby Dick

Paul, your, other ones and the Bible's vision that the dragon that fought St. George must have been a whale isn't widely shared. If one view THIS IMAGE, posted by me a long while ago, one can see an example for that. This image shows a sculpture in which St. George isn't fighting with a whale but with a 'real' dragon, else he and his horse would have been drowned, 😁 .
Anyhow a good 'action shot', again.
