Abstract:
Systematic comparative studies of international significance indicate that there are con- siderable similarities between ideas, beliefs, and customs of various nations, even in the tradi- tions of geographically distant countries with completely different cultural, religious, historical, and social background. One of these links is the dragon-slaying motif, which appears in myth and folklore. This paper deals with a comparative analysis of different narrative types, in which the international motif of the duel between a hero and a supernatural being is stylized. Despite the differences, these

Abstract:
In one of the earliest issues of Rural History, Jacqueline Simpson urged students of Popular rural culture to examine local legends that centre upon some specific place, Person or object and which are a focus for local pride. Many of these are well-known tales which have been adapted, often in a humorous way, to local circumstances. Thus the seventy-odd stories of dragon-slaying which she has collected for Britain usually depict a local figure, not St George or a knight errant, as the hero. It is normally difficult, if not impossible, to explain how these tales began. The Dragon of Wantley, ho

Abstract:
The article discusses the portrayal of Éowyn in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings in the light of the biblical tradition of the warrior woman. The author focuses on the scene in which Éowyn slays the Nazgûl Lord in the battle of the Pelennor Fields with the help of Meriadoc. This event is juxtaposed against the biblical descriptions of female warriors, in particular Jael and Judith. A detailed analysis of passages from the King James Bible and the Douay-Rheims Bible, with which Tolkien was familiar, allows the reader to detect numerous affinities between his vocabulary and imagery, and their bib

This article explains how nanomechanics can be used to treat metastatic cancer. Metastatic cancers are the cancers that spread from the organ in which they originated to other organs. Indeed, the rate at which metastatic cancers, especially those that grow in the lungs, liver, and brain, are cured remains abysmally low and they are responsible for the vast majority of cancer deaths. Nanodrugs in current clinical use have extended the lives of many metastatic patients on the order of weeks to months. The nanodrugs use nanoparticle materials such as liposomes and albumin to be injected into the

Abstract:
This thesis offers a re-evaluation of the fiction of George MacDonald (1824-1905), both fantasy and non-fantasy. The general trend in MacDonald studies is to focus primarily on his works of fantasy, either ignoring the rest (which includes non-fantasy fiction, sermons, poetry, and criticism) or using them to illuminate the fantasies. The overall critical consensus is that these works, particularly MacDonald’s non-fantasy fiction, possess little inherent value. Though many critics acknowledge similarities between MacDonald’s fantasy fiction and his non-fantasy fiction, MacDonald has been the vi

Abstract:
Based on a broad survey of the reception of Firdausī’s Shāhnāma in medieval times, this dissertation argues that Firdausī’s oeuvre was primarily perceived as a book of wisdom and advice for kings and courtly élites. The medieval reception of the Shāhnāma is clearly manifested in the comments of medieval authors about Firdausī and his work, and in their use of the Shāhnāma in the composition of their own works. The production of ikhtiyārāt-i Shāhnāmas (selections from the Shāhnāma) in medieval times and the remarkable attention of the authors of mirrors for princes to Firdausī’s opus are partic

Abstract:
The serpent or dragon and its fight with the dragonslayer is a traditional mythological and literary motif. It is also common for a polemical context, when an adversary — a schismatic, a heretic, a political opponent — is compared to a poisonous or fire-breathing monster. Among the many eschatological images that George of Trebizond cites in his dramatic characteristic of Plato and the Platonists in Comparatio philosophorum Aristotelis et Platonis (1458), there is also a comparison of Platonic teachings with a serpent, a dragon, or the many-headed Hydra.
