Homonym: Sodom (Sin)
Sodom was an ancient city mentioned in the Bible, particularly in the Book of Genesis. It is often associated with wickedness and immorality, and it was said to be destroyed by divine judgment due to the sinful behavior of its inhabitants. The story of Sodom is closely linked to the nearby city of Gomorrah, which also faced destruction for similar reasons.
The tale of Sodom has influenced various cultural and religious discussions about morality and ethics. The term "Sodomite" has historically been used to describe behaviors considered immoral, drawing from the city's reputation. Archaeological efforts have sought to identify the actual location of Sodom, with some theories suggesting it may have been near the Dead Sea.
