Book Description:
|
Kinyras is the central culture-hero of early Cyprus. John Curtis Franklin seeks to harmonize Kinyras as a mythological symbol of pre-Greek Cyprus with what is known of ritual music and deified instruments in the Bronze Age Near East. He addresses philological and historical issues arising from the collation of classical and Near Eastern sources.
