1/6 Have been thinking about Thucydides "Fear, Honor, and Interest" quote. Poked around the Greek a bit, but I'm not an expert by any means in Ancient Greek, and would like others to comment. But some thoughts.

One thing, touched briefly on in that long set of comments, is that phobos as fear is also tied up into Phobos as a god, where his role is (along with Deimos) the scattering of armies.
I find Greek fear words trickier than Latin ones (Latin fear words tend to relate to direct physical responses), but it seems worth noting that the Romans translate the god Phobos as Pavor (a shaking, violent trembling fear) or Terror (exactly as in English)...

Deimos by contrast gets, I think, Metus (dread, a hesitation or pulling back, cf. metuo) and Formido (fear, awe invoked by a specific object; it can mean 'scarecrow' for instance).

At the same time, it's also really clear that sometimes authors just use fear words to use fear words, in the same arbitrary way we might use fear, terror, panic and so on as synonyms.
