Lecture by Jean-Claude DOMY
Gog, Magog and Alexander - Geohistory of Eurasian myths.
Jean-Claude DOMY
This is not a religious analysis of Gog and Magog, peoples and regions originally mentioned in Jewish prophecies and evoked in the Apocalypse of John. Moreover, the incongruous presence of Alexander the Great, neither Jewish, Christian nor Muslim, makes this clear. It's about the formation of a myth that brings them together. When did it appear? Where are the peoples and individuals evoked supposed to live and move? What is the relationship, as in all myths, between reality and belief? Why did the myth eventually disappear? In the end, a few thoughts may have philosophical or political implications.
