Quick note: the article states that some tellings of the myth behind the dye say that Hercules did it. Actually, that was (probably) a case of interpretatio graeca, in which the Greeks identified Heracles with the Canaanite Melqart, “King of the City,” and then the Romans did their own interpretatio romana. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretatio_graeca |
