Sprutta, Justyna2025-06-162025-06-162018Studia Bydgoskie, 2018, Tom 12, s. 225-237.1898-9837https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/32588Until the 15th century the dragon apparently enjoyed greater popularity than the serpent in Byzantine and Old Russian icons of holy warriors. Nevertheless, the snake also found a place it truly “deserved” there. All images of soldiers fighting against the personification of evil always present their triumph. But it is not only them that are victorious. The serpent and its substitutes are also defeated by male and female ascetics, who demonstrate an attitude equally militant towards evil. However, the primary victor here is God – and rightly so.plCC-BY-SA - Uznanie autorstwa - Na tych samych warunkachwążikonografiaikonografia bizantyjskaikonografia staroruskamotyw węża w ikonografii staroruskiejmotyw węża w ikonografii bizantyjskiejstaroruska ikonografia świętych wojownikówbizantyjska ikonografia świętych wojownikówwojownicyśredniowieczestarożytnośćtradycja piśmienniczawąż w tradycji piśmienniczejteksty liturgicznewąż w tekstach liturgicznychikonografia triumfu nad wężemsnakeiconographyByzantine iconographyOld Russian iconographysnake motif in Old Russian iconographysnake motif in Byzantine iconographyOld Russian iconography of holy warriorsByzantine iconography of holy warriorswarriorsMiddle Ageantiquityscriptural traditionsnake in scriptural traditionliturgical textssnake in liturgical textsiconography of the triumph over the snakeArticle
