What is the ancient Greek word for blue?
kyaneos
The 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. The Greeks imported indigo dye from India, calling it indikon.
?a?????? doubt lse will allow the greek translation
blue
No. It is completely false. The notion that the ancient Greeks had no word for the color blue is a popular meme that has been around since at least the mid-1800s, but it is not true. The ancient Greeks actually had several different words for blue. Here is a list of all the major ancient Greek color terms and their meanings:
??????? (erythrós) means “red,” but especially “deep red” or “crimson.”
?????? (kókkos) means “scarlet.”
??d?e?? (rhodóeis) means “pink” or “rosy.” As I discuss in this article I wrote, the name of the ancient Greek Cinderella, Rhodopis (??d?p??; Rhodôpis), means “rosy-eyed” or “rosy-faced.”
?????? (khlorós) means “bright green,” “greenish yellow,” or “yellow.”
???se?? (khrýseos) means “golden.”
?a???? (xanthós) means “reddish yellow,” “brownish yellow,” or “light brown.” It is the color of Achilleus’s hair. A slave with the name ?a???a? (Xanthías), which means “blondie,” appears in many of the comedies of Aristophanes.
??a???? (glaukós) means “light gray,” “bluish gray,” or “light blue.” It is the color of Athena’s eyes.
?????e?? (argýreos) means “silver.”
p????? (poliós) means “dark gray.”
??a??? (kýanos) means “dark blue.”
????e?? (kyáneos) also means “dark blue.”
????? (oînops) means “wine-looking.” It can be used to describe things that are dark blue, but does not refer to a specific color. It is famously used to describe the sea in the Homeric poems.
p??f??e?? (porphýreos) means “dark blue,” “indigo,” or “purple.”
f????? (phoînix) means “crimson” or “deep purple.”
?e???? (leukós) means “white” or “pale.”
µ??a? (mélas) means “very dark in color,” “dark brown,” or “black.”
