Er...Eric...Arrack...Urrak... Nomine sanctus Georgius transmutandum:-)
I have found more regional/interesting variations of the dragon-killer... In his very orginal Lebanon he was GEVGES... However, his Greek patronymic, Georgius, is currently used in Lebanon, Syria & region awa Russia. In Scandinavia he becomes Sankt Göran (Goran) Finland, he is most popular as PYHÄ YRJÖ (Pyha Yrjo) as well as YRJÄNÄ (Yrjanae). While Russia officially calls him Georgius he is most ubiquitous as JURI. Quite eclectically endowed by his legion followers...isn't he... I supose the dragon would simply have muttered: Here comes my Nemesis...& started, resignedly, stoking his fires... I wonder, in Goa, had he been bestowed a Hindu version of his name...the poor fellow would have been considered a dithering coward? One wonders...one does...does'nt one?
