Pointer mentions that we are now anticipating the visit to the House of Theseus. The house was named after Polish archaeologists who excavated it in 1966 during a tumultuous time in Cyprus. After gaining independence from England, the island was nearly engulfed in a civil war between Greeks and Turks. The Poles named the place "House of Theseus" because the central mosaic depicts the duel between Theseus and the Minotaur.
The Paphos Archaeological Park is home to the House of Dionysos, the House of Theseus, the House of Aion, and many other remarkable sites. It features numerous mosaics that delve into the world of myths and legends, showcasing stunning scenes and terrifying demons. In this world, gods behave like humans, and humans are not afraid of the gods. The park offers a rich tapestry of art and history, where the stories of gods and legends are beautifully intertwined in exquisite mosaics.
