Wieringa. 330 $aGog and Magog, as archetypes of evil, have dwelt in our consciousness since their threatening appearance in the Bible and Quran. Maps, literature and texts ranging from Medieval Europe, the Byzantine and Arab world, in Berber, Persian and Indonesian traditions, to contemporary internet texts: all use these imaginary monstrous creatures. The figures are constantly reinterpreted as the enemies of order change. This volume reveals in eight essays the images of the 'Other' in genres ranging from contemporary folk religion on the internet to the rich literary heritage of Alexander romances. 410 0$aIranian studies series (Leiden, Netherlands) 606 $aEvil in literature 606 $aEnd of the world$xBiblical teaching 606 $aEnd of the world (Islam) 606 $aApocalyptic literature 606 $aEschatology 606 $aOther (Philosophy) in literature 606 $aGood and evil in literature 615 0$aEvil in literature. 615 0$aEnd of the world$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aEnd of the world (Islam) 615 0$aApocalyptic literature. 615 0$aEschatology. 615 0$aOther (Philosophy) in literature. 615 0$aGood and evil in literature. 676 $a809.93382013 702 $aSeyed-Gohrab$b A.
