Greek myths are not just fairy tales from the distant past — they are a vital part of culture that still shape our lives today. This link between myth and reality is felt especially strongly here in Cyprus, the legendary birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite.

Yet the world of Greek mythology is traditionally male-centered. We all know the tales of Zeus, Heracles, and Odysseus, but the voices of women have often been left in the shadows. The goddesses and mortal heroines of these myths were powerful and beautiful, but rarely free to define their own destinies. Reduced to mothers, maidens, or objects of desire, their presence still echoes in modern culture — from films to everyday expectations about gender.

With this exhibition, we aim to bring these women to the forefront and, together with contemporary artists, reflect on their meaning today. For the first time in Cyprus, the exhibition will also present works by Bulgarian sculptor Nina Lishovska-Todorova together with the work of 20 artists living in Cyprus, who reimagine these ancient narratives through painting, sculpture, and mixed media.

Visitors are invited to explore how ancient archetypes still shape our ideas of femininity — and how art can challenge and transform them.
