''The Death of the Gods. Julian the Apostate'' (Smert bogov. Yulian-Otstupnik) is a novel by Dmitry Merezhkovsky, first published (under the title ''The Outcast'', Otverzhenny) in 1895 by ''Severny Vestnik''. Exploring the theme of the 'two truths', those of Christianity and the Paganism, and developing Merezhkovsky's own religious theory of the Third Testament, it became the first in "The Christ and Antichrist" trilogy. The novel made Merezhkovsky a well-known author both in Russia and Western Europe although the initial response to it at home was lukewarm.〔Mikhaylov, Oleg.

The process was boosted by the Merezhkovskys European 1892 trip when the couple visited Greece and Turkey. Merezhkovsky’s first impressions of Greece were not favourable but everything changed as he found himself facing the sacred hill of Acropolis. On return, the couple found themselves in serious financial difficulties. "We literally have nothing to eat and we've pawned our wedding rings," Zinaida Gippius complained in one of her 1894 letters. Dogged by poverty, Merezhkovsky still managed to finish the novel.〔
