An old engraving of Gog and Magog c. 1600. Mythical giants Gog and Magog, appear in the Hebrew Bible and in the New Testament as the invader of Israel, evil forces opposed to the people of God. Although biblical references to Gog and Magog (also known as Corinaeus and Gogmagog) are few, they assumed an important place in early literature and medieval legend. These engravings are based on their wooden, statues in London’s Guildhall.
