Abstract

The Book of Revelation is a story endowed with a strong dramatic character. The author knows how to recreate the mimesis at different times in the narrative, giving it great vividness and realism. The resources used - the speech of the messenger, the chorus, deixis, the use of language to express the gesture or movement - are not techniques invented by the author of Revelation but belong to the long tradition of Greek tragedy, offering proof that Revelation dates from the Hellenistic period. One of the most important works in the Hebrew Scriptures related to Revelation is the book of Ezekiel. While the Exagoge of Ezekiel treats a properly Jewish theme, it can nevertheless be considered as the predecessor of the Book of Revelation. In the Exagoge one find dramatic techniques similar to those present in the Book of Revelation. Both works employ these techniques in such ways as to ensure that each characterised throughout with great drama.
