| h English (en) | Saffron is featured in trade lists from [[Mari, Syria]], is described in a 7th-century BC Assyrian botanical reference compiled under [[Ashurbanipal]], and is listed among other aromatic plants in the [[Hebrew Bible]], in [[Song of Songs 4|''Song of Songs'' 4]]:14. During his Asian campaigns, [[Alexander the Great]] used Persian saffron in his infusions, rice, and baths as a curative for battle wounds. Alexander's troops imitated the practice from the Persians and brought saffron-bathing to Greece. |
