Crises and catastrophes of all kinds have always confronted humans
with great challenges. The present study examines the question of
how literary texts process and deal with these challenges through
the imaginary world of metaphors. It concentrates on the metaphor
of childbirth, which compares people racked with crisis to women in
labour (and sometimes vice versa). The texts examined are taken
from the Ancient Orient and the Old Testament, together with a text
exemplar from the Qumran corpus, which takes up the metaphor of
childbirth and develops it further.
