Archaic Cyprus

The history of Cyprus is a fascinating blend of the Greek world to the west and the civilizations of the East - a legacy which still haunts the island today. This major reference work is the first to present and analyse in detail the evidence from texts and archaeology for the history of Cyprus from earliest times right down to the classical period. It is generously illustrated with plates, figures, and diagrams, and offers a wealth of exciting new interpretation on the material, much of which has hitherto been unavailable.
