Love metaphors in ancient Greek poetry (II): From attic tragedy to Hellenistic poetry

  • Pilar Hualde Pascual
Keywords: metaphor, cognitivism, love, Attic Tragedy, Hellenistic Poetry.

Abstract

Based on the concept of cognitive metaphor, which complements the best-known literary metaphor, and analyzing the conceptual basis underlying both, we seek a careful analysis of the Greek texts, without forgetting the fundamental importance of the cultural context in which they arise, in order to obtain a better understanding of the way in which the sentiment of love was conceptualized in ancient Greece. In this case we focus on a selection of Attic tragedy and Hellenistic poetry texts.
