Ancient Cypriot Pottery Types describes the many unique pottery styles created between the Bronze Age and the Hellenistic era. The Sculptures section explains how the use of local limestone rather than imported marble gave Cypriot statues a very distinct look and feel. Ancient Cyprus at a Glance is divided into six different themes including Cyprus as the birthplace of Aphrodite, Cyprus as an ally of Alexander the Great, and the Hellenization of Cyprus around 1200 BC. Art & Society: Interpretations is a quick guide to the relationship between art and society on ancient Cyprus, starting from the Early Cypriot to the Classical/Hellenistic periods.

Greeks first settled in Cyprus during the Twelfth Century BC, in the period that followed the collapse of the Mycenean palace economy. The Myceneans, who had long traded with the Eastern Mediterranean, headed east. The establishment of Aegean Greeks in Cyprus was a late Bronze Age precolonization exodus that took place long before the first organized expeditions of Greek colonization began.

Once again how do you Hellenize something that is already Hellenic?

Hellenized squared may cancel each other out!

Ask a stupid question and get a stupid answer Yialousa…

The question is too hard for you I guess.

What the hell are you talking about? Do you actually try to use your brain when posting? Intenet garbage is just garbage. You want to make a point, and maybe learn something on the way, do all of as a favour and try to find a respectable source.

So you think that that "the Encyclopedia anyone can edit" (which is whare wapedia.mobi gets its articles from) is as reliable a source as the British Encyclopedia and the the British Encyclopedia is as reliable a source as an article from a respactable authority on the subject.

British Encyclopedia is what you child uses when they need to right an essay for school. when you want to make a serious argument you try to find a serious author.

The reply for GR , i consider, is simple. Take a Hellenic Ethnicity- put some British/Turks / Americans propaganta and lot of money - create a new Ethnicity - name it "Cypriots" and then ,when you realize what sht you did, spend 2-3 centuries to return it to its origin (Hellenic).

Have you ever taught at school the ancient history of Cyprus ? How Old are you 6 y o ? . Even at our schools I remember If you accept this as a respectable source we ve being taught about phoenician influence and all other foreign influiences as a result of being captured by different other regional powers. Which it doesn not reject what I have already posted.
