Is this what the Greeks meant by the "bronze" sky? In all the literature I have read its assumed that either the Greeks didn't have a word for blue, were colourblind, were using poetic license, or the sky looked different in Ancient times. Not once (in my looking, anyway) has it been hypothesised that they actually meant oxidised bronze when they talked about the bronze sea. It would make sense, seeing as oxidised bronze is in fact a turquoise blue colour.
