E. Gladstone is a scholarly work published in 1858. Written by a British Prime Minister trained as a classicist, this ambitious study explores Ancient Greek civilization through Homer's epics. Most notably, Gladstone examines Homer's puzzling color descriptions—why blood and waves share the same term, why the sea appears "wine-looking." His controversial analysis suggests ancient Greeks perceived color differently than modern readers, sparking debates about whether he implied they were colorblind.
