two cities in a story from the
Bible which were destroyed by
God with a
rain of
fire and brimstone (
sulfur) as punishment for the sins and wickedness of its citizens. Before the
destruction,
God said he would spare the cities should ten decent men be found in all of Sodom. Two angels in the
form of men found only one,
Lot, and transported him with his wife and daughters to the countryside beyond the city. They were told to flee and were warned not to
look back at the city. Paying no
heed to the warning,
Lot's wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of
salt. The location of these two ancient cities is said to be submerged beneath the southern part of the
Dead Sea, in southwestern
Asia.
