Two quotes
"Rather, the Greek migrants seem to have taken control of most of the Cypriot cities as a warrior elite, with their language gradually coming to predominate throughout the island while the material culture remained predominantly native."

And
"Overall, the Aegean penetration of Cyprus can best be characterized as a series of movements by Aegean freebooters to a known region where they established themselves a warrior aristocracy."

Reads to me like a conquest event.

I can anticipate the dismissive responses from the apologists for Ancient Greek imperialists, with their usual abusive shoot the messenger reaction, rather than dealing in an objective and reasoned manner with the well argued thesis.


If you use the thesis of some student to support your claims then it means you have nothing better to support your nonsense. You are not a "messenger". You are an anti-Greek colonialist scum who wants Hellenism destroyed in Cyprus. You didn't seek the truth. What you did is try to find something to support your anti-Greek bullshit. But all you found are some worthless crap by absolute nobodies ... like the draft thesis of some student :lol:


just the howls I expected of dismissive abuse.. Water off a Duvcs back mate! Nothing to contest the ultimate outcome of a conquest event.

Any more accusations like this from Cyprus' enemies and I'm gonna have to knight STUD with the Cypriot Cross of Honor! 8)

You are obviously talking about the conquest of Britain by the English. That happened relatively recently and recorded by many historians. But about the Greeks in Cyprus there is no such evidence. When people started to record history Cyprus was Greek already. And from archeology we know that the first colonists of Cyprus, the Chirokitians, went extinct before the Greeks came ... so the Greeks couldn't have any war with the original settlers of Cyprus anyway.

The only thing you can award dog is a bone ;) Cyprus doesn't give any awards to colonialists and the traitors who side with them.
