Antra Bin Shadad In The Efforts Of Scholars

Abstract

     Reading and deep research into the ancient literary heritage is a starting point for new ideas and stories that can reveal the secrets of that heritage. Pre-Islamic poetry is full of meanings and aesthetic images, which are difficult to define or study. Pre-Islamic poetry involves difficulties and texts that are sometimes difficult to pronounce. At the same time, it includes aesthetic characteristics that are almost unique to it. Therefore, we find that most studies on pre-Islamic poetry seek to search for that aesthetic and the factors that contributed to highlighting it. The study is based on presenting some studies that revolved around the poet Antarah ibn Shaddad and opinions about his personality and poetry. This personality carried many values ​​and morals that most Arab knights were famous for, but Antarah is almost different. Being in the same circumstances as Antarah, his birth and life, and the rejection of his lineage are factors that almost made him a different person, but Antarah made those things a source of pride and self-confidence. This study is a review of the studies that were written about Antarah. We do not want to present a detailed picture of Antarah, but rather shed light on the studies that dealt with his poetry. We came out of this study with the following results: 1- Standing on the literary studies that dealt with Antarah. 2- Clarifying the opinions on his poetry and standing on the points of agreement and disagreement
