Historical background

CYPRUS - PAPHOS

(5th century BC)

Pnytos - King

Paphos, a coastal town located in the southwest of the island of Cyprus was of Phoenician origin and was above all the center of the cult of Aphrodite on the island of Cyprus under the name of Koulia (archaic and classical Paphos). We have very little information about the Cypriot monarchs who ruled Paphos between the Persian Wars and Stasandros, the first reported king in the mid-5th century BCE..
