The Fourth Horse (by Bi0star)
” The fourth and final horseman is named Death. Of all the riders, he is the only one to whom the text itself explicitly gives a name. Unlike the other three, he is not described carrying a weapon/object, instead he is followed by Hades.
The color of Death’s horse is written as khlōros in the original Koine in Greek. The color is often translated as “pale”, though “ashen”, “pale green” and “yellowish green”. Based on uses of the word in ancient Greek medical literature, several scholars suggest that the color reflects the sickly pallor of a corpse. “
