Cyprus is an emblematic space of relations and rivalries between people, between myth and history, between causality and stereotype: cradle of Aphrodite-Kypris, the goddess who gave her name to the island ancient economic power of the Mediterranean owing its prosperity to the exportation of copper nowadays a remote member of the European Union, which territory is divided by the ‘Green line’ militarily occupied in the North by Turkey and spotted with British sovereign bases in the South more recently a potential producer of natural gas, the island has always attracted –distorting– looks on this strategic gate to a Near East presently seething with unrest.
