Greek Mythology At Paphos Mall
Woof Woof Woof!
Another three-headed dog! And this one actually has a sign identifying it.
Cerberus
Cerberus was the monstrous watchdog of the Underworld. He was usually said to have three heads, though the poet Hesiod said he had 50, and a serpent's tail. He guarded the gates of the Underworld, preventing the dead from leaving, and making sure that those who entered never left. Cerberus is primarily known for his capture by Heracles, one of Heracles' twelve labours.
Distant Cyclops
So, Cerberus does have a snake for a tail, which means he appears at both ends of the exhibition.
City View
I have made it to the viewing platform we saw at the start of the article, and I am looking out towards the Archaeological Park and Lighthouse Beach.
Roundabout View
If you get a chance, do go and see the exhibits at Kings Avenue Mall. Endeavours like this should be encouraged, and you may learn a thing or two about Greek Mythology into the bargain. Look out for our film of the exhibition, coming out tomorrow. And remember, it is there until the 20th.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
