Discover Cyprus through an 1888 archaeological journey that maps ruins, voices, and distant shores.
This nonfiction travelogue follows D. G. Hogarth’s summer exploration of Cyprus, focusing on the Papho district and the Carpass. Readers will glimpse how a Craven Travelling Fellowship shaped fieldwork among inscriptions, temples, and ancient ruins. The volume presents a careful blend of site notes, historical context, and Hogarth’s observations on local life and hospitality.
Structured as a practical report rather than a sweeping history, the book offers grounded descriptions of landscapes, excavation progress, and the legacy of Cypriot civilizations. It highlights places like New Paphos, Aphrodisium, and coastal towns as they stood in the late 19th century, with maps and references to earlier scholars.
Ideal for readers curious about late‑19th‑century archaeology, Cypriot heritage, and travel journals with scholarly insight.
