Sulfur, also called brimstone, is a naturally occurring, common volcanic substance.
History
Classical antiquity
In ancient Greece, volcanic islands like Thera, Anaphi, and Nisyros were places where sulfur could be found in abundance, dyeing the waters in and around the islands bright green or 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] Sulfur was also the key component in exploding arrows used by the Spartan misthios Kassandra during the Peloponnesian War.[1]
Renaissance
During the Renaissance, sulfur was a key component in the creation of various bombs, [3] particularly in smaller cherry bombs that were used to distract with sound.[4] Sulfur was also required, along with saltpeter and charcoal, to make gunpowder.[5]
American Revolution
During the American Revolutionary War, sulfur was used in the crafting of poison darts and black powder.[6]
