There are three forms of anger: rage, which the
Greeks also call χολή or χόλος, μῆνις and κότος. When anger arises
and begins to be roused, it is called rage or χολή or χόλος. Wrath again implies
that the bile endures, that is to say, that the memory of the wrong
abides: and indeed the Greek word for it, μῆνις is derived from
μένειν, and means what
abides and is transferred to memory. Rancour, on the other hand,
implies watching for a suitable moment for revenge, and the Greek word
for it is κότος from κεῖσθαι.
