    • Synopsis
    • Professor of Classics John C. Franklin is internationally recognized as one of the most important scholars of
      KINYRAS, the mythical ancient king of Cyprus. He is the author of the book entitled "KINYRAS - THE DIVINE
      LYRE", published by Harvard University’s Center for Hellenic Studies in 2015. In 2017, the American professor, along with cartoonist and illustrator
      Glynnis Fawkes, return to Cyprus forthe production of the documentary
      KINYRAS : IEREYS KTILOS AFRODITAS.
      In the documentary, Kinyras' personality is outlined through references to ancient sources and
      interviews with scholars and artisans. The myths that surround Kinyras are also depicted through
      cartoon animation. The documentary KINYRAS: THE
      CHERISHED PRIEST OF APHRODITE is an elegy for the most important mythical person of the ancient
      history of Cyprus, KINYRAS. Although the memory of his name is preserved to this day, Cypriots know
      very little about him.
