An anthology of ancient Greek and Roman writings on apocalyptic thought and humanity’s end, featuring original texts and new translations. Drawing on authors such as Hesiod, Plato, Lucretius, Seneca, and Epictetus, it explores classical views of cosmic destruction, natural disasters, and cyclical renewal while examining the origins of doomsday thinking. The collection considers how reflecting on catastrophe can encourage resilience, reduce fear, and offer insight into living meaningfully in the present.
