Is this image below the picture of a man swallowed by a fish? Is the man not "in the belly" of the fish?
The above is an image from a stone laver from Assyria. Dagon, being a fish god, would of course be of the mind that water is holy; therefore he sprinkles the Holy Water. Dagon was a Philistine deity who was half-man and half-fish.
Is it possible that the Dagon Priest [sic] was actually Jonah from the Jonah and the Whale story?
Jonah's destination was Nineveh; this was the capital city of Assyria. The ancient images of Dagon are from Assyria.
