Cultural and Historical Background: Tyre was a major Phoenician port city renowned for its production of purple dye and as a center of commerce and trade in the ancient world. It was a powerful city-state with strong maritime capabilities. Historically, Tyre was besieged by several empires, including the Babylonians and Alexander the Great, which led to its decline. The city is often associated with wealth and pride in biblical literature, serving as a cautionary tale of the consequences of hubris. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin of foreign origin, cf.
