With Dr Anja Ulbrich, A.G. Leventis Curator of Cypriot Antiquities
Throughout antiquity Cyprus was regarded as the birthplace and home island of Aphrodite, where she was worshipped as the all-powerful goddess.
In this talk, Anja will explore how the goddess of love and her cult reached the wider Greek world to join the pantheon of Greek gods and goddesses.
