| Summary: | The utopia became a central element in the history of European literature during the sixteenth century, with the dystopia following in the nineteenth century. The literature of antiquity offered impulses for both, dystopia and utopia. The Apocalypse of John deserves special interest in the pre- and early history of the dystopia, for it formulates places of disaster - using Greek and Roman tradition - that cover the earthly life and beyond. That will be illustrated in this article on the basis of the images of the so-called ‘apocalyptic horsemen’ (Rev 6), the great, depraved city (Rev 17-18), the Abyss (Rev 9:11) and the pit which faces the wrongdoers (Rev 20:1-3). |
