Today was a great day filled with tons of really interesting and awesome sights. It was especially great because the things we saw today are what I presented in my slides so it was cool to finally see some of the stuff in person. First off, we visited Aphrodite’s rock which was awesome to see in person and I listened to Georgia talk about the story behind it again which I was already familiar with but still cool to hear for a second time. The rock was way bigger than in the pictures and not what I expected. After that, we visited the Tombs of the Kings which was also cool and we took some nice pictures. I noticed that there were a lot of holes for the tombs but I was surprised at how big they were. After that we went further into Paphos to explore the House of Dionysus and see the mosaics inside which was also awesome to see in person from my presentation. The mosaic of Scylla, the sea monster and then the Triumph of Dionysus was cool to see in person because those ones I had looked up beforehand for my presentation. The other ones were also really cool and it was super interesting to hear the stories Georgia had about them. One I remember is the one with 9 different squares each depicting different seasons; summer, autumn, winter, and spring. I also remember the one depicting, Narcissus, a beautiful young man, who rejected all romantic advances. Georgia explained that the gods punished his vanity by making him fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. Unable to look away or fulfill his love, he withered away and died, or in some versions, he drowned. A narcissus flower was said to have bloomed where he died. This story of vanity, self-obsession, and emotional detachment from others is actually the origin of the term narcissist, someone who is self-centered.
