This paper will examine the use of metaphor by ancient monistic philosophers, and attempt to explain their cosmologies with fully utilized ontological and structural metaphors. Developments in the analysis of metaphor over the past few decades have provided cognitive linguists with powerful tools to explore not only our current use of language, but also the language and thought behind some of modern civilization's most seminal works of religion and philosophy. In this paper, modern concepts of metaphor such as grounding, scope, entailment, and embodiment will be applied to the physical monistic philosophies of Thales and Heraclitus. Through this treatment, it will be shown that these pre-scientific cosmologies were tenable precisely because of the fullness and richness of their utilization of their respective source domains
