Myron names the costly aromatic ointment that appears at some of the most intimate and theologically charged moments in the Gospels. When a woman breaks an alabaster flask over Jesus' head (Matt 26:7; Mark 14:3) or pours it over his feet and wipes them with her hair (Luke 7:38; John 11:2; 12:3), it is myron she uses — expensive, fragrant, and meant for honored guests or the preparation of the dead. The disciples' protest at the waste (Mark 14:4-5; John 12:5) underlines the extravagance: this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii. Spanish perfume/ungento, French parfum, and German Salbe each capture a different facet — the fragrance, the medicinal base, the anointing function — but none fully conveys the convergence of luxury, devotion, and burial preparation that myron carries in its Gospel contexts. In Rev 18:13 the word appears in Babylon's trade inventory alongside cinnamon and incense, confirming its status as a high-value commodity.
