The '''Apocalypse of Pseudo-Methodius''' is a 7th-century apocalypse that shaped the eschatological imagination of Christendom throughout the Mediæval period. The work was written in Syriac in the late 7th century, in reaction to the Islamic conquest of the Near East, and is falsely attributed to the 4th-century Church Father [[Methodius of Olympus]] (†311).<ref group="note">Hieromartyr [[Methodius of Patara]], [[June 20]].</ref>
It depicts many familiar Christian eschatological themes: the rise and rule of [[Antichrist]], the invasions of Gog and Magog, and the tribulations that precede the end of the world.
