The
important geographical position of Cyprus, which
constituted a point of transition to the East, the
island’s presence in various historical developments,
and especially its rich mythology, offered ancient
Cyprus many opportunities to appear –explicitly or
implicitly– in Classical, Postclassical and Modern
European literature and art. The studies in this volume
move in this direction and attempt to shed light on the
presence of Cyprus in the ancient world and on how it
was perceived, as well as to consider its contribution
to the Roman world and, by extension, to Western
European culture.
