- Studies_on_Homer_and_the_Homeric_Age abstract "Studies on Homer and the Homeric Age is a book written by William Ewart Gladstone. Gladstone is better known for being the Prime Minister of Great Britain four separate times (1868–1874, 1880–1885, February–July 1886 and 1892–1894), but was trained as a classicist. At the time of publication he was M.P. for the University of Oxford.The book discusses a range of issues related to Homer. It is perhaps most notable for Gladstone's analysis of language related to colours. Gladstone raises the issue that Homer's works have, for the modern reader, an odd use of colours.The ancient Greeks classified colours by whether they were light or dark, rather than by their hue. The ancient Greek word for dark blue, kyaneos, could also mean dark green, violet, black or brown. The ancient Greek word for a light blue, glaukos, also could mean light green, grey, or yellow.Gladstone theorized that Homer and other ancient Greeks were mostly colourblind and that is why colour is used the way it is in their work. Gladstone's ideas would have an impact on the debate regarding the ability of cultures to see colours when they lacked the name for such colours.".
