LONG LIVE THE N A T I O N OF CYPRUS !

[The Cypriot]

YES CYPRUS is CYPRIOT , happy now !!!

I am, Byron. Truly. More than you'll ever know.

Problem with people like you is that you do not discuss or debate you dictate just like " I FASCI " .

Don't spoil it.

On the subject of Byron, unfortunately he is not alive today, so we do not know whether your assertions would prove to be correct. Certainly, if their is no Hellenism in Cyprus, I guess he would prefer to stay in the pub instead of fighting for your freedom.

Not if I'd have anything to do about it, Byron. I'm in London remember! I'd be down that pub saying.... "You helped free Greece! Come and help CYPRUS!!!!"

I dont know the answer to Australia perhaps you can enlighten us with the answer.

It's called evolution with maturity Byron...

If you were to call an Aussie, enlglishman you will get a thumbing...

So you are an AUSSIE and not a CYPRIOT.

The Ancient History of Cyprus -

1. Assyrian Period
The first written source shows Cyprus under Assyrian rule. A stela found in 1845 in Kition commemorates the victory of king Sargon II (721-705 BC) in 709 over the seven kings in the land of Ia', in the district of Iadnana or Atnana. The former is supposedly the Assyrian name of the island, while some authors take the latter to mean Greece (the Islands of the Danaans). There are other inscriptions referring to Ia' in Sargon's palace at Khorsabad. The ten kingdoms listed by an inscription of Esarhaddon in 673/2 BC have been identified as Soloi, Salamis, Paphos, Kourion, Amathus and Kition on the coast, and Tamassos, Ledrai, Idalion and Chytroi in the interior. Later inscriptions add Marion, Lapithos and Kerynia (Kyrenia). The city-kingdoms began to strike their own coins around 500 BC, using the Persian weight system.




2. The City-Kingdoms

Cyprus gained independence around 669/663. Cemeteries of this period are chiefly rock-cut tombs. They have been found, among others, at Tamassos, Soloi, Patriki and Trachonas. The rock-cut 'Royal' tombs at Tamassos, built ca. 600 BC imitate wooden houses. The pillars show Phoenician influence. Some graves contain remains of horses and chariots.

The main deity on the Island was the Great Goddess, Phoenician Astarte, later known under the Greek name of Aphrodite, who was called 'the Cypriote' by Homer. Paphian inscriptions call her the Queen. Pictures of Aphrodite appear on coins of Salamis as well, demonstrating that her cult was of more than local importance. The king of Paphos was high Priest of Aphrodite as well. Other Gods venerated were the Phoenician Anat, Baal, Eshmun, Reshef, Mikal and Melkart and the Egyptian Hathor, Thoeris, Bes and Ptah, as attested by amulets. Animal sacrifices are attested by terracotta-votives. The Sanctuary of Ayia Irini contained over 2000 figurines.

Cyprus was independent since ancient times . Foreign immigrants (including Greeks from greece) settle in the island to take advantage of its location and exploit its rich resources like copper.

Why would a PRO HELLENE like BYRON help a CYPRIOT ?

Because this Cypriot has got strong powers of persuasion.
