Mighty Aphrodite
the Cyprian Myths of the Great Goddess
(Periclis Hadjikyriakos)
In this book the birth myth and the love affairs of Aphrodite that are focused on Cyprus are presented, along with their symbolic correspondences. These myths are by now classic stories, primarily preserved by various authors of antiquity, and have inspired some of the greatest European painters. Aphrodite and her island are the cohesive links of these stories out of which a diachronic sequence emerges in relation to the pre-history of the island as it is reflected by archaeology.
