Legend of the Gargouille. A French legend that sprang up around the name of St. Romanus (French: Romain; fl. c. 631–641 AD), the former chancellor of the Merovingian king Clotaire II who was made bishop of Rouen, relates how he delivered the country around Rouen from a monster called Gargouille or Goji. 1 2 Catholic churches in the Middle Ages used gargoyles for a secondary purpose, after diverting water from the church walls. Some believe gargoyles on a church were meant to ward off evil; it’s also possible that the gargoyles symbolized evil spirits, monstrous entities, and damned souls. 3 4 Animals such as lambs, fish, pigeons, eagles, bulls and lions all had great symbolism within Christianity, and frequently decorated architectural constructions, especially churches, along with other mythical animals like griffins, gargoyles, chimeras, dragons and basilisks. These animals were designed to be intentionally grotesque. 5 The English term ‘gargoyle’ is French in origin. It comes from the words gargouille, meaning ‘throat’, and gargariser, meaning ‘to gurgle’. This reflects the fact the water tends to come out of the mouth of the gargoyle. The terms for gargoyle in other languages tends to be more descriptive. 6 Vad ar en gargoyle?
