Throughout literature, "shepherd" emerges as a multifaceted symbol that spans the literal, the metaphorical, and even the nominal. In pastoral narratives, the term evokes images of gentle guardians guiding their flocks, as in texts that portray shepherds tending sheep with a sense of duty and care ([1], [2]). Meanwhile, its biblical and allegorical usage imbues the shepherd with the power to lead and protect, symbolizing spiritual guidance and authority ([3], [4]). At times, authors employ the word with a playful twist or to underline social commentary—sometimes even attaching it as a surname to add character depth ([5], [6]). Whether representing simplicity and harmony or the complexities of leadership and duty, the shepherd remains a potent literary figure whose symbolism resonates across a diverse array of narratives ([7], [8]).
