      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.

      Fascinating!! Question, to tie this into my favorite pet theory of consciousness: did these metaphors shift over time (e.g. the Iliad vs Aristotle) or were they constant?

      They shifted, but they are relatively stable when it comes to archaic lyrical poetry (Sappho, Pindar mostly). There are PhDs to be made on the subject of the difference in colors between prose & poetry writers... but I read and found Plato & Aristotle to use colors differently.

      Was there an obvious direction or trend of shift? Such as from more literal/visual properties to more interior ones?

      ok. See image. Jaynes claims Greek consciousness incl idea of self developed in stages 1 = others have body feels 2 = we ourselves have body feels 3 = our body feels have psychological meanings 4 = these meanings unify into an "internal" self "analogous" to our physical presence pic.twitter.com/bOLcivncZD

      Homer thought the soul was in the center chest, not the brain... translations write "your black soul thought this up" where Homer writes "your black diaphragm".

      Yeah the "consciousness is in the head" bit wasn't about the ancient Greeks but about our current conceptualization.
