In literature, the term “destroyed” is used to evoke the idea of complete and irreversible annihilation—whether of cities, lives, ideals, or even institutions. It frequently appears in historical and biblical narratives to denote the total ruination of cities, empires, and sacred sites ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]), while also capturing personal devastation, as when lives or reputations are shattered ([7], [8], [9]). Moreover, the word is often employed metaphorically to illustrate the collapse of abstract constructs such as honor, hope, or authority ([10], [11], [12], [13]), thereby enhancing its dramatic effect across genres. Even in more light-hearted or ironic contexts, its use underscores the transformative impact of loss and decay ([14], [15]).
