Homer prolly meant something a little different.
"[108] So spake he, and in them all aroused the desire of lament, and rosy-fingered Dawn shone forth upon them while yet they wailed around the piteous corpse." Iliad 23
Czech this out.
"The rose bore the values of the spiritual world."
Oh sorry. I thought we were applying the metaphor to current events. The meanings of “rose” in ancient literature are different issues entirely.
Roses to me? They just remind me of my late mother, who had a green thumb when it came to all things growing, and she was most successful with her beautiful roses.
I have a black thumb, so can we explore the nuances of ebon?
