In Ancient Greek mythology , Olethros (Greek : ὄλεθρος ) was the personification of havoc and probably one of the Makhai .[citation needed
Olethros translates roughly in ancient Greek to "destruction", but often with a positive connotation, as in the destruction required for and preceding renewal.
Biblical use of olethros
[ edit ]
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the King James Bible Olethros is found in the New Testament in 1 Corinthians 5:5 , 1 Thessalonians 5 :3, 2 Thessalonians 1 :9, and 1 Timothy 6:9 , where it is translated "destruction" in most versions of the Bible. Some[who? believe a more accurate translation of this word in these verses would be "punishment," referring to the kind of punishment that expiates guilt and restores the sinner to communion with God.[citation needed
In popular culture
[ edit ]
The name "Olethros" is used to refer to Destruction in The Sandman Neil Gaiman .
