I wonder why Cyprus doesn’t lean more into the “Aphrodite’s Island” thing now? I live in Paphos, a few kilometers away from her supposed place of “birth”, and if you look at souvenirs you’re more likely to find an evil eye than a visage of the goddess.
I just think that it’s an amazing piece of history/mythology belonging to the island, and it would be great if it was explored more.

My Cypriot father joined the RAF. Cyprus was promised independence if they helped the UK in the war, but it was forgotten after. My cousin died on an Atlantic convoy, steward on an oil tanker.
