More on the Hazor dragon seal

ICONOGRAPHY: Newly discovered link between Hercules, Israel suggests cultural exchange in region - study. 2,800-year-old stamp in Tel Hazor connects Hercules to northern Israel, depicting a hero battling a seven-headed serpent, reflecting Levantine visual culture and myth transmission complexities (Eyal Green, Jerusalem Post).

I already noted this story and linked to the underlying peer-review article here. But if you don't have access to the latter, this Jerusalem Post article has a detailed summary.

The connection with Hercules/Heracles is tenuous, but the stamp is interesting for other reasons.
