Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at comparing the lexical items expressing sadness in Homer’s poem Iliad and one of its translated versions in Bulgarian. Our approach comprises the following steps: compilation of synonym sets with the meaning ‘sadness’; contextual analysis of the identified words in order to disambiguate them and to detect their relevant uses; etymological analysis and explication of the semantic development of each etymological group.
