Στην πόλη αυτή, που βρισκόταν στα ενδότερα της Κύπρου, λατρευόταν η Αφροδίτη πριν την ίδρυση του Ιερού της από τον Αγαπήνορα στην Παλαίπαφο (Παυσ. 8,5,2).

Olympus mountain

  Olympus (Olumpos, Strab. xiv. pp. 682, 683; Ptol. v. 14. § 5), a mountain range in the lofty island of Cyprus. On one of its eminences - breast-shaped (mastoeides) - was a temple to Aphrodite of the heights (akraia), into which women were not permitted to enter. (Strab. l. c.) This probably implies that all but the hierodulae were excluded. (Comp. Claudian, Nupt. Hon. et Mar. 49-85; Achill. Tat. vii. 13.) According to Pococke (Trav. vol. ii. p. 212; comp. Mariti, Viaggi, vol. i. p. 206), this part of the chain is now called Haghios Stavros, or Sta. Croce, from a convent dedicated to the Cross. (Engel, Kypros, vol. i. pp. 33-37).
