Literary usage of “cohort” spans both the literal and the metaphorical. In historical narratives, it often designates a well-defined military unit—a subdivision of a legion—as seen in accounts where cohorts are organized with their own centurions and distinct roles in battle [1, 2, 3]. At the same time, the term is employed more abstractly to indicate a group united by a common characteristic or purpose, whether in the analysis of social demographics [4] or when invoking a mass of intangible forces, such as a horde of emotions or doctrines [5, 6]. This dual application—from concrete formations in ancient warfare to figurative collectives in poetic prose—demonstrates the word’s versatility and enduring appeal in literature.
