It is believed that is was Agapenor, a leader of the Arcadians, who found the city. Even before Agapenor, they worshiped the cult of the goddess of fertility, who became the prototype of Aphrodite. According to Greek tradition, Aphrodite was born out of the foam of the sea right here in Paphos. Paphos is also famous for the fact that the Roman patrician Cicero lived here and ruled Crete from here. The Apostle Paul preached on Paphos. In the Middle Ages, the city was captured by Richard the Lion Heart during his campaign to Jerusalem. Later Paphos was ruled by the Lusignan dynasty - the founders of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
