Horus and Saint George Iconographical Comparison In a legend, Saint George—a soldier venerated later in Christianity—originally saves a princess by defeating a dragon. He rides a horse and slays a dragon with a spear. The narrative was first set in Cappadocia in the earliest sources of the 11th and 12th centuries, but transferred to Libya in the 13th-century Golden Legend. "The Contendings of Horus and Seth" is a mythological story from the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt found in the first sixteen pages of the Chester Beatty Papyri (📸 5-6) and deals with the battles between Horus and Seth to determine who will succeed Osiris as king. Horus sails on a boat and defeats Seth with a spear. Seth’s boat had sunk prior and thus he transformed into a hippopotamus, to scuttle Horus’s boat. 📸 2.
