- Abstract
- This article provides an overview of several recurring themes that characterize ancient Egyptian love poetry and the elements of figurative language (metaphors and other tropes) associated with them. The study also investigates the parallels between the evocations of love and its effects in other literary genres, within and outside the spatio-temporal borders of ancient Egypt literature. Finally, as the use of implicit meaning is also omnipresent in ancient Egyptian art, other parallels are highlighted between the love songs and some figurative representations in Theban Tombs.
