Kythera or Kythira is an arid Greek island located opposite the southernmost tip of Peloponnese.
During the 5th century BCE, the island kingdom was renowned for two principal things: its Temple of Aphrodite and the local trade of murex dye. The former attracted pilgrims from all across Greece while the latter was highly respected due to the immense labor required to produce them from the hundreds of thousands murex shells found on the shores. Because of this, murex dye was highly coveted and its export was enormously profitable for Kythera.
