The Dragon, the Mountain, and the Nations

Book • 2018
This book explores the origins, manifestations, and meanings of the dragon-slaying myth, tracing its trajectories through India, proto-Indo-European cultures, Iran, and other ancient Near Eastern traditions, ultimately examining its role in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.

Miller argues that this myth, while widespread, is not universal but rather originated among early Indo-Europeans.

The book provides a detailed analysis of how the myth is reworked and interpreted across different cultures and biblical texts.
