In this report we discuss the ethnopharmacological, historical and medical aspects of the use of endemic medical plants in the area of Paphos of Cyprus. Paphos is cited in the east region of the island, characterized by its unique flora.. Many plants were used in an unusual way for therapeutic purposes by local people, comprising a significant part of their tradition that accompanies them up to today in their daily life.

Introduction Cyprus is the birthplace of goddess Aphrodite, a crossroad of three regions (Europe, Asia, Africa) and a rapid expanding economical and technological country. As an island, cited in the eastern site of the Mediterranean sea, it has a unique climate that favours many plants to grow all the year. According to Aristotle’s script (It was found that there is a big and high mountain in Cyprus, higher than all its mountains, called Troodos, where many different plants grow, which are useful in medicine.

  • In the Footsteps of Paul
    FMZBC In the footsteps of Paul 1st Destination: Paphos You, Saul and Barnabas have traveled 90 miles across Cyprus from Salamis to Paphos. In Paphos the Proconsul (governor) called on them so that he may hear the teachings of Jesus. The Proconsul’s attendant, Bar-Jesus or Elymas, was a false prophet and sorcerer who wished to prevent the Proconsul from hearing/believing the word. Saul, now called Paul (it is at this point the name Paul was first mentioned), blinded the false prophet like he himself had once been blinded. After witnessing this event the Proconsul now believe in the new faith of Jesus. Acts 13:6-12 6They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, 7who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. 9Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, 10"You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind, and for a time you will be unable to see the light of the sun." Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

Its glorious history dates back thousands of years. Today is a growing town, but in Hellenistic and Roman times it was the capital of Cyprus. Still under the spell of her beauty Goddess, the area retaining her magic, and has remained intact by time. St. Paul’s Pillar. Saint Paul visited Paphos in 45 AD in an attempt to convert the ruler of the time to Christianity. He was successful in his efforts, but not before being tied and whipped to this otherwise unremarkable lump of stone. The Pillar of Saint Paul is one of several popular stops for pilgrims who come to see the religious sites of this early bastion of the Christian faith. He received 40 lashes for evangelizing on the island. Paphos Mosaics. The Paphos Mosaics are one of the most historic sites on the island of Cyprus. Considered to be the finest mosaics in the Eastern Mediterranean. They date from the 2nd century through to the 5th century and many are still in remarkable condition.

  • In the Footsteps of the Phoenicians in Paphos
    Chapter 11 In the Footsteps of the Phoenicians in Paphos Jolanta Młynarczyk I am delighted to offer this modest paper in honor of my distinguished friend Michal Artzy, whom I first met at the Zinman Institute excavations of Sha‘ar ha-Amaqim in 1993 and with whom I have the pleasure to work at the Phoeni- cian site of Tel ‘Akko. The part of the research dealing with the Cypro-Classical to Hellenistic period in Paphos has been sponsored by the grant of the Polish National Research Centre (ncn) UMO. 2016/22/M/HS3/00351. The important settlement of Paphos in the southwestern coastal area of Cy- prus “appears to have originated in Middle Cypriot iii/Late Cypriot i as the terminal station of the route that brought copper to the coast from the foot- hills of Troodos” (Iacovou 2013: 285). In terms of the Phoenician connections in Cyprus during the earlier part of the Iron Age, Paphos is still among less known regions; however, the early Phoenician presence in the southwest of Cyprus has been firmly attested by the material culture of the Cypro-Geometric peri- od. In P. Bikai’s opinion, it is even possible that “an early period of Phoenician trade … used western Cyprus as a stopping point” in the expansion toward the west (Bikai 1987: 70). Indeed, the earliest Phoenician pottery found on Cyprus (“Kouklia Horizon,” ca. 1050 to 850[?] bce) comes mostly from Kouklia, which is ancient Paphos, described as Palaepaphos from the Hellenistic period on. A quantity of Phoenician objects made their appearance in the tombs at Palae- paphos-Skales as early as the eleventh century bce (Bikai 1994: 35); an enig- matic graffito on one of the vessels found there contained some Phoenician characters and was dated to the tenth century bce (Lipiński 2004: 45, 69).
