Homer’s colors<\/font><\/span><\/u><\/span>

\n

\n<\/span><\/u><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The blue (cyan) references in Homer are related to metallic hues and are given to dark metal items (cyan ship prow, cyan leg table) and by extension to other dark objects reminiscent of that metal color, like dark hair, eyebrows and manes (cyan haired Poseidon, cyan cloud). <\/o:p><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cyan (metal) was not associated with blue otherwise it would be used by Homer as the color of the sky, of sea or for the eyes of Athena, if indeed they had light blue color.<\/font><\/span><\/span>
\nIn contrast to cyan mains of horses and hairs of warriors in Homer’s epics there are Blonde Menelaus, blonde Demeter, blond horses and the blonde hair of Achilles. The referred as “xantho” fair hair has nothing to do with yellow color.<\/span>
\nGreen, yellow, blue, orange and purple, are virtually absent from this ancient epic, but there are references to gray color and to the color of brighten edges (falo = brighten or what turns white sparkling on top) like waves (hence the Faliro, name of seashore place), snow on mountain peaks and those who have lost their hair (called “falakros” in greek). My bald friends may you have lost your hairy top of you, but you are shining!<\/span>
\nAs seen, white color in the Homeric epics and in ancient times referred only as “lefko” and not as “aspro” (the common word for white in modern Greek) and red, despite several different name references in the Homeric project is not anywhere called "kokkino" as red is called by modern Greeks, even that those two words are used from ancient times. <\/span>
\nDo you know why we say “aspro” and “kokkino”? Do you know since when we started to call white and red with these names? <\/span><\/font><\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
