The website for the television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" describes this highlight with the words: "Paphos on the island of Cyprus has been a place of pilgrimage for almost 9,000 years. As early as the Megalithic period, a fertility goddess was worshipped here, whose cult reached its peak around 3000 BC. Archaeology has confirmed Hesiod's literary conception of Aphrodite: the ruins of numerous temples and columned halls, sacrificial sites and pilgrimage homes, reflect changing religious beliefs and adaptable use as a place of pilgrimage. The Bronze Age goddess Astarte became the Greek Aphrodite, and in Christian times, the Virgin Mary, who is worshipped on the same site today." The corresponding film (duration: 15 minutes / language: only available in German) about this UNESCO World Heritage Site is available in the media library at the following link =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/paphos-zypern-folge-117/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS83MTgyNDcy

"The gigantic rock formations at this location also appear in another, somewhat more recent legend, according to which the rock formations were heaved to this location by the Byzantine hero Digenis Akritas to keep the Saracens from the north of the Arabian Peninsula away (7th-10th century). The name Petra tou Romiou (Greek 'Rock of the Greeks') comes from this very hero."
