      Short thread on Greek perception of color. Nietzsche actually thought they were colorblind.https://twitter.com/nastyinmuhtaxi/status/995840132367507457 …

      The Greek vocabulary is extremely complex, and colors in Ancient Greek (especially in Homer & Pindar) often carry an extremely rich field of significations, using metaphor and metonymy. It seems primitive because it seems meaningless due to its complexity.

      I think what you say is more probable than those who say their color-sense was just the same as ours and that everyone has just been mislead about this for the past few centuries.

      Proof of my affirmations shall be found in etymology... Greek chloros, green, cognate with χλόη, khloè, shoot, is ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *ǵʰelh₃, to flourish, to grow, that is to say the word does not describe a hue but a belonging to plants & growth.

      i thought *ghel meant "shine/glisten" and *bhel (which became "phyllon" - leaf) meant flourish/grow

      Mmmh... you thought right, must have gotten confused somewhere... so khloros really comes from *ghel (per Pokony's Indogermanisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch) and it seems Gold and Green both come from there, and it refers, indeed, to "shine".

      The root *ghleu is also stated as the origin of khloros, χλόος, khloè and khloros, and this time it is understood as already a color in PIE. The point remains the same; the words for colors share strong etymological links with other similar words whose meaning tinges the color's.

      yes absolutely nigga, and even if not, it's an admirable thing to speculate origins more colourful than they actually were - the facts are secondary to this. P.S. I just looked it up on etymonline

      A word like "Rome" immediately invokes a throng of images, smells, & memories which allows us to conceptualize it as a reality. That is to say, with Marrou, that historical knowledge relies on an unconscious reconstruction of the past as a fantasized present.
