Re: Be careful about differentiating by colour
Rancid Orange,
Sorry, I don't speak ancient Greek. But they were even weirder. Not only was the sky green, rather than the normal blue. But also colour words sometimes included texture as well - just to be extra confusing. So the Iliad and Odyssey are full of references to the wine-dark sea.
When the sea starts looking like wine, you've either been drinking some very odd wine - or rather too much of the stuff...
