Leviathan

The Meaning of the Leviathan in Early Christian Painting

The Leviathan is cloaked in obscurity. It is best described as a voracious seagoing dragon with origins going back to antiquity.

The Leviathan in the Bible

Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee? -- Job 41: 1-3
