Resumo

Embora metade das ocorrências de "μέγας" esteja no Apocalipse, a importância desse adjetivo é frequentemente ignorada por dicionários e léxicos. Há apenas um número limitado de estudos que parecem notar a ampla gama de significados de "μέγας" e levar isso em consideração ao interpretar o texto. Esta apresentação pretende preencher essa lacuna na literatura, realizando uma análise semântica da palavra para estudar seus múltiplos usos e avaliar sua importância na interpretação de Apocalipse 12
