Kourion

Kourion is this ancient Cypriot archealogical site near the southern coast which houses a load of different ruins including houses and a large marketplace and baths but it is most iconic for its amphitheatre which was used for theatrical performances and gladiator arena battles.
I went there and took a load of photos which I made into a panoramic shot using photoshop just like we were taught in a mac suite session.

The city as a whole is thought to go back as far as 1300 BC which was quite a long time ago. 

Cyprus is a Greek founded country (Although the north side is now owned by Turkey) and as such has a lot of ancient history surrounding the country and a LOT to do with the ancient Greek Gods. 

The most worshipped Greek god of the country is actualy a Goddess called Aphrodite who was the greek goddess of love and beauty and sexuality and her Roman equivalent is Venus. She is said to have been born in Cyprus near Paphos. 

Well actually the story goes that she emerged from the sea after Cronus (One of the original Titans and father of Zeus, Hades and Poseidon) ripped off his dad(Uranus, the father of all the original Titans)'s genitals and threw them into the sea. I don't think he liked his dad that much.

She is a very important goddess in Greek Mythology.
