Thanks to all that sent me examples of saints with lion. Of course I was aware of Mark, but I was thinking of saints which had a "real" relationship with this animal. Kathryn wrote on the ambivalence of lion, which leads me to another question: A. QUACQUARELLI, Il leone e il drago nella simbolica dell'età patristica, explains the ambivalence of the lion as the product of the "oppositae qualitates, essenziale nella valutazione del linguaggio simbolico" I confess my deep ignorance: is this a retorical technique?
