Golgotha is not a metaphor, but the Aramaic word for 'Skull', and also very similar to the Hebrew word (transliteration 'gulgaleto'). This name was given to the mount because it looks like the top part of a skull. To see a picture, go to the related link below.

Golgotha is not really a literary term. It is often related to suffering or to the redemption accomplished by Jesus in his death on Golgotha. Since the word Golgotha comes from the Hebrew word 'gulgoleth' and is 'gulgalta' in Aramaic, which mean 'skull', it is related also to death and the dead.

Golgotha
Golgotha or Cranium is pretty high. The base of Golgotha is the same height as the Prätorium. But the top of Golgotha, where Jesus and the two criminals were crucified, is about 15 meters higher. The road Via Dolorosa, earlier called Decumanus Maximus, led from the Prätorium to Golgotha, passing by Bethsaide. (John 5) Jesus walked a few hundred meters but after going through the Sheep Gate he was helped by Symon of Cyrene to carry his cross up the steep slope of Golgotha.
Calvary is another name for Golgotha, the place where Jesus was crucified.
Golgotha's hill is directly next to the eastern wall of Jerusalem, where today the Lion's Gate is located.
According to the New Testament, Golgotha was a hill outside Jerusalem. It is also known in English as Calvary.
