This study questions the origins and traditions of the cultic rites practised during Roman times in 'Peleshet' (Philistia), located along the southern shores of the Land of Israel.

This study employs a textual analysis (literary and philological) of the story of the duel of David and Goliath and, together with its comparison to Greek, Egyptian and Mesopotamian literary sources, historical analysis alongside comparative analysis with archaeological findings.
