John the Revelator wrote Revelation on the island of Patmos in Greece. The Greek word bow/Toxon is where we get our words Toxin and Toxic.

toxic (adj.) 1660s, from French toxique and directly from Late Latin toxicus "poisoned," from Latin toxicum "poison," from Greek toxikon "poison for use on arrows," "pertaining to arrows or archery," and thus to a bow, from toxon "bow."
