All I see when I close my eyes are colors! Mostly it's orange, purple, green and blue...but I can't ever get rid of them to see a clear, true-color picture in my mind's eye. I never thought about it before, i just thought that everyone saw them the same way.
Empedocles is best known as the oldest exponent of the four-element theory of matterâearth, air (or aether), fire, and waterâwhich endured until the advent of modern chemistry, although with some serious modifications by later thinkers and despite strong criticisms from the ancient atomists.mpedocles presented his doctrines in the traditional poetic medium of hexameter verse, the format used by Homer and Hesiod two centuries earlier. This choice had precedents in Xenophanes (c. 570âc. 468 BCE) and Parmenides (fl. c. 490), who also used poetry to convey their ideas.
Sophocles of KolÅnos (c. 496 - c. 406 BCE) was one of the most famous and celebrated writers of tragedy plays in ancient Greece and his surviving works, written throughout the 5th century BCE, include such classics as Oedipus the King, Antigone, and Women of Trachis.n the Roman world, tragedy plays were translated and imitated in Latin, and the genre gave rise to a new art form from the 1st century BCE, pantomime, which drew inspiration from the presentation and subject matter of Greek tragedy.
