“Mother you don’t understand; I made Hades run to me.
He saw my bones beneath
And offered me half his kingdom.
Do you really think I ate the fruit unwillingly?”

From the Greek οἶνοψ πόντος , A literal translation is “wine-face sea”. The only other use of oinops in the works of Homer is for oxen, where it seems to describe a reddish color, which has given rise to various speculations about what it could mean about the blue seas.
