  Saudi Aramco World : Millennia of Murex   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Murex is the dye first famous as “Tyrian purple,” named for the city of Tyre, today in Lebanon but 3000 years ago the center from which that energetic trading nation, the Phoenicians, controlled a far-flung luxury trade in murex-dyed silks.
Murex produce most of their secretions in early spring, the season when Sirius, “the Dog Star,” is high in the northern hemisphere’s sky, and thus the legend of Melcarth (Hercules) and his dog may in fact be a folktale reminding people of this seasonal advantage.
Murex is chemically related to the indigo dye family (which includes woad), and all these need to be processed in dyeing vats in an alkaline solution.

Jensen states that he encountered some children on the Syrian coast who had mashed murex shells and the mixed the snail extract with lemon juice and then used the mixture to dye some rags (Jensen, 104).
