This essay uses conceptual blending theory to analyze the integration of natural imagery with human and divine parents in both corpora. The results of this analysis reveal patterns in the use of nature to conceptualize parenthood and differences in the manner and extent to which each prophetic corpus draws on specific taxonomies within nature.</em></p>}, number={2}, journal={Avar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Life and Society in the Ancient Near East }, author={Bosworth, David and Tosatto, Lucia}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={247–281} }
