The passions are transliterated pathê from Greek.
Chrysippus thought particularly grief,pleasure, fear and desire were evaluative judgements (according to Groenendijk & de Ruyter - p. 83).
The Stoics named four primary passions. In On Passions, Andronicus reported the Stoic definitions of these passions (trans. Long & Sedley, pg. 411, modified):
Distress Distress is an
irrational contraction, or a fresh
opinion that something bad is present, at which people think it right to be depressed.
Fear Fear is an irrational
aversion, or avoidance of an expected danger.
Lust Lust is an irrational desire, or pursuit of an expected good.
Delight Delight is an irrational swelling, or a fresh opinion that something good is present, at which people think it right to be elated.
Numerous subdivisions of the same class are brought under the head of the separate passions. The definitions are those of the translation of Cicero's Tusculan Disputations by J. E. King.
