  • CYPRUS A Dynamic Island

    € 27.00
    Add to cart

    Cyprus has a long and eventful history. The island lies in the eastern Mediterranean, where the cultures of Anatolia, Assyria, the Levant, Egypt, and Greece flourished in antiquity. Each of these great civilisations has left its mark on the history of Cyprus, through commercial ties, migration, conflicts, and technological innovations. The mining of copper in the Troodos Mountains led to lively trade, greatly boosting the prosperity of the island’s various kingdoms. These independent states maintained relations with all the neighbouring states, leading to a cultural melting pot of languages, customs, and religions. Yet certain elements can be seen as truly Cypriot down the ages: the widespread veneration of the goddess Aphrodite, who was born from the foam of the waves off the island’s west coast, the unique character of the arts in the Bronze and Iron Ages, and a marked capacity to absorb foreign influences without sacrificing the island’s own distinctive character.

    This book introduces readers to the main landmarks in the history of Cyprus. Various topics in the island’s archaeological past are discussed, each one written by a leading expert. You will meet the first inhabitants of the island, who crossed the sea from the mainland in tiny boats and rafts, bringing their livestock with them. And you will read about the ships, which started their journey across the Mediterranean laden with cargoes of copper ingots. Discussions of the history of archaeological investigations of the island range from random acts of plunder in the nineteenth century to ongoing scientific investigations. Several chapters focus on the highlights of Cypriot art in the collections of the museums of Cyprus, Stockholm, and Leiden. This book is published to coincide with the exhibition Cyprus: A Dynamic Island at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden.

    EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN – CYPRUS – DODECANESE – CRETE 16th – 6th cent. BC

    The creation of an Exhibition on the subject of relations and interconnections among the peoples of an area with such great cultural heritage as the Eastern Mediterranean, even if it is limited only to a part of antiquity, resembles a long voyage. From the conception of the idea and its planning until the end of the voyage the difficulties are great and the work arduous. The itinerary and its results, i.e. the provision of knowledge in a manner easily understood by the public and scholarly at the same time, constitute the fascination of the journey. Indeed, this is what makes you wish to continue the creation process because in a final analysis, the way you create is to a great extent the way you choose to live.
