Description
View of the Meditteranean Sea from Salamis, Cyprus. Gordon Bugbee Collection. "Salamis was Cyprus’ capital for around one thousand years and according to tradition, it was founded by Teucer, son of Telamon ruler of the island of Salamis, who arrived on Cyprus after the end of the Trojan War accompanied by other Greeks. In Euripides’ ‘Helen’ Teucer explains that Apollo had ordered him to not return to his homeland but to go to the island of Cyprus since he did not manage to prevent Aiantas’ suicide nor did he manage to take revenge on his death,"--Republic of Cyprus, Ministry of Communications and Works, Department of Antiquities website.
