The Revelation is an eschatological, metaphysical text, a mystical narrative full of rhythms, repetitions, refrains, and echoes, permeated by what Wellebeck describes as "the basic idea of poetry, a union of resonance and meaning, which allows the world to be spoken."

But why and how should one translate the Revelation into modern Greek? This edition takes care of that, but at the same time answers the question of why one should engage with yet another translation of the Revelation of John into modern Greek. The aim is to render the original text with the smallest possible deviation from its language, following, if possible, the syntax of the original text, while also striving to keep the number of words in the translation within the limits of the source. In other words, an economy should be observed in the modern Greek language, which is the basis of both the transcendental poetry of the work and its narrative value.
