The early greeks conceived of the soul as identical with Breathing as a physical process of the body.
The Greek conception of the soul in the Archaic age (800–500 bce) might best be characterized as multiple. The Greeks separated where other traditions do not and a unitary soul can only be found in the period after the Archaic Age. The free soul, or psuchē, is an unencumbered soul representing the individual personality. This soul is inactive (and unmentioned) when the body is active. There are a number of body-souls, which endow the body with life and consciousness. The most frequently occurring form of body-soul in Homer's epics is thumos.
