QUÉ SIGNIFICA EUNUCH EN INGLÉS

Eunuco

Eunuch

Un eunuco es un hombre que puede haber sido castrado, típicamente bastante temprano en su vida para que este cambio tenga consecuencias hormonales importantes. En algunos textos antiguos, "eunuco" puede referirse a un hombre que no es castrado, pero que es impotente, célibe, o de otra manera no se inclina a casarse y procrear. La castración era típicamente llevada a cabo en el futuro eunuco sin su consentimiento para que pudiera desempeñar una función social específica; Esto era común en muchas sociedades. Los primeros registros de castración intencional para producir eunucos son de la ciudad sumeria de Lagash en el siglo 21 AC. A lo largo de los milenios, han desempeñado una amplia variedad de funciones en diferentes culturas: cortesanos o domésticos equivalentes, cantantes agudos, especialistas religiosos, soldados, guardias reales, funcionarios del gobierno y guardianes de mujeres o sirvientes de harén. Los eunucos probablemente serían siervos o esclavos que, por su función, hubieran sido castrados, generalmente para hacerlos servidores confiables de una corte real donde el acceso físico al gobernante pudiera ejercer gran influencia.

A eunuch is a man who may have been castrated, typically early enough in his life for this change to have major hormonal consequences. In some ancient texts, "eunuch" may refer to a man who is not castrated but who is impotent, celibate, or otherwise not inclined to marry and procreate. Castration was typically carried out on the soon-to-be eunuch without his consent in order that he might perform a specific social function; this was common in many societies. The earliest records for intentional castration to produce eunuchs are from the Sumerian city of Lagash in the 21st century BC. Over the millennia since, they have performed a wide variety of functions in many different cultures: courtiers or equivalent domestics, treble singers, religious specialists, soldiers, royal guards, government officials and guardians of women or harem servants. Eunuchs would probably be servants or slaves who, because of their function, had been castrated, usually in order to make them reliable servants of a royal court where physical access to the ruler could wield great influence.
