- See Goliath (arts) -- survey of fictional works
In Christian iconography, the victorious David is often portrayed "with the head of Goliath."
More rare are the representations and the accounts the actual fight between David and Goliath in the arts (Michelangelo, Titian, Caravaggio), in literature and cinema.
In the 1960s Goliath, like other muscular superheroes who were popular at the time (Hercules, Maciste, Samson), took a life of his own in a series of movies, which are completely detached from the biblical account.
