History

Classical antiquity

In antiquity, sulfur was found especially around volcanic activity, dyeing the waters around and in volcanic islands like Thera, Anaphi, and Nisyros bright green, even yellow.[1] The island of Melos was especially famous for its rich sulfur mines, and the substance was exported throughout the Mediterranean Sea.[2]

Renaissance

During the Renaissance, sulfur was a key component in the creation of various bombs, [3] especially in those that were used to distract with sound.[4]

American Revolutionary War

During the American Revolutionary War, sulfur was used in the crafting of poison darts and black powder.[5]
