Don't forget that sea-dark wine (or the other way round)

I NEVER DO! IT'S οἶνοψπ ttόντος BUT AT AGE 67....'IT'S ALL GREEK TO ME! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studies_on_Homer_and_the_Homeric_Age#Colour_Contro versy AS PER PRIME MINISTER GLADSTONE-ALSO A TRAINED CLASSICIST ON HOMER'S WINE-DARK SEA:

Many readers, however, have read Gladstone's explanation of Homer's colour terms as a suggestion that he and the other ancient Greeks were colourblind. The most controversial line is his claim that "the organ of colour and its impressions were but partially developed among the Greeks of the heroic age." Gladstone denied that he suggested here the Greeks suffered from colourblindness, though, and he later said: "My meaning was substantially this: that he [Homer] operated, in the main, upon a quantitative scale, with white and black, or light and dark, for its opposite extremities, instead of the qualitative scale opened by the diversities of colour."

AS FIRST MATE ABOARD THE CATLINA WOOLY BULLY, HANDLING A CORKSCREW ON THE STORM TOSSED SEA IS ONE OF THE MY MYRIAD DUTIES!
