The term “overthrow” has been employed in literature with remarkable versatility, ranging from literal military or political conquests to metaphorical disruptions of ideas and values. In classical epics such as Homer's works [1, 2], it describes the violent clashing of armies and the fall of mighty heroes, while in political documents and historical narratives [3, 4, 5, 6] it denotes the dramatic collapse of regimes and established orders. Authors of imaginative and speculative fiction, including H. G. Wells [7, 8] and Shakespeare [9], use it to evoke scenes of sudden tumult and transformation. Meanwhile, in more philosophical or metaphorical contexts, writers like Dostoyevsky [10] and Nietzsche [11, 12] harness the word to articulate the internal or aesthetic upending of prevailing notions or conditions. This rich spectrum of usage underscores the term’s enduring power as a symbol of both physical and abstract rupture across literary genres and eras.
