Abstract
The usual depiction of a beautiful woman in ancient Arab literature is that she is tall, fat, and fair, with thick and long black hair. The size in particular is considered as a sign of fertility. The ancient Arabs looked at the woman as the source of life. She was therefore regarded as the human symbol of the god sun, worshipped and revered.
This study seeks to establish the role of thoughts or ideas in describing women. It highlights the divine attributes of ladies such as motherhood, young age, virginity and modesty which are considered as the hallmark of chastity. They are sometimes compared with dulls, and their saliva compared with wine, which were key items used in the pagan religious rituals.
