Drakon: Dragon Myth and Serpent Cult in the Greek and Roman worlds

240,000-word, innovative, densely argued and referenced OUP monograph, written over 10 years, subsuming a number of items published separately within this REF period, each of which might respectably have been submitted as an output in its own right. The book ranges across 1200 years of material, marrying the fields of pagan myth (in text and iconography), pagan cult, early Christianity and many diverse comparanda. Much argumentation proceeds from the author’s own translations of texts, many previously untranslated, and published separately in his 160,000-word OUP USA book, Dragons, Serpents and Slayers (2013), not itself submitted as an output.
