Fear in Ancient Egyptian religious texts
Sven Eicke | University of Cologne
This chapter presents an analysis of the concept of fear and the usage of linguistic expressions referring to this emotion in selected Ancient Egyptian religious texts. By using approaches from Cognitive Linguistics and Psychohistory, a deeper insight into the ancient sources is gained. Furthermore, some considerations about the relationship between fear and public space, as well as about the meaning of individuality and identity, will be made within the selected corpora.
Keywords: Ancient Egypt, Pyramid Texts, Coffin Texts, Book of the Dead, Graeco-Roman temples, Kom Ombo, decorum, psychohistory, emotionology, Conceptual Metaphor Theory
