Γομόρρας
Gómorrha
Gomorrah
A city name: Gomorrha; a locale notable as one of the ancient cities situated near the Dead Sea. The primary use is as a toponym, referring specifically to one of the paired cities (with Sodom) described in ancient Israelite traditions. In Greek literature, particularly in Jewish and Christian sources, the term carries connotations of destruction due to divine judgment. In non-biblical contexts, the term refers neutrally to a city, but is almost exclusively attested in religious or scriptural references related to judgment and ruin.
