Survey of the history of this vital Mediterranean island, beginning with its relatively peaceful prehistoric period and continuing through a succession of subjugations by Assyrians, Phoenicians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, Venetians, Turks, and English invaders. To do this, four distinct methodologies are applied to variegated sources and select representative examples to study the successive periods of Cypriot history: 1) Prehistory to the Assyrian Occupation: interpreting the archaeological record. 2) Persian Conquest to Roman Annexation: evaluating Greco-Roman literary sources. 3) Arab Raids to the Turkish invasion: navigating foreign languages sources. 4) Contemporary Paphos: collecting oral histories from personal interviews. This course is taught in Cyprus and requires travel expenses.
