Tips
Of course, traces of the ancient Greek gods dating back to pre-Christian times can also be found on Cyprus, as the ancient myth of the densely populated Olympus as the heaven of the gods - with the father of the gods ZEUS at the top - is deeply rooted in the Mediterranean region. Some of the names have been preserved in the collective memory over the millennia, especially DIONYSOS. He is still popular today, especially as the god of wine and joy. He can also be found in Roman mythology, where he was known as BACCHUS.
