The Revelation is an eschatological, metaphysical text, a mystical narrative filled with rhythms, repetitions, incantations, and echoes, imbued with what Houellebecq describes as "the basic idea of poetry, a union of resonance and meaning, which allows the world to be expressed."

But why and how should one translate the Revelation into Modern Greek? The concern of this edition, but at the same time an answer to why one should engage with yet another translation of the Revelation of John into Modern Greek, is the pursuit of rendering the original text with the smallest possible deviation from its language, following the syntax of the original text where possible and simultaneously aiming for the number of words in the rendition to remain in line with that of the source.

Therefore, an economy should be maintained in the modern Greek language, which forms the basis of both the transcendent poeticity of the work and its narrative value.
