A metaphor based on a perceived resemblance between two entities rather than being motivated by embodied experience. Resemblance based metaphor thus contrasts with correlation based metaphor. An example of a resemblance-based metaphor is the following: Achilles is a lion. In this case, the perceived resemblance between Achilles, the Greek warrior, and a lion is not physical: Achilles does not actually look like a lion. Instead, due to cultural knowledge which holds that lions are courageous, by describing Achilles as a lion we associate him with the lion's qualities of courage and ferocity. Thus the perceived resemblance relates to behavioural qualities associated with both Achilles and lions.
