Original Antique Print of Mount Cinthus on the isle of Delos, Greece, 1688
About the Item
Antique print Greece titled 'Bergh Cinthus'. Old print of Mount Cinthus (birth place of Apollo), Delos, Greece. This print originates from 'Nauwkeurige Beschrijving der eilanden in de in de Archipel der Middellantsche Zee' by O. Dapper.
Mount Cynthus (Kýnthos) is located on the isle of Delos, part of the Greek Cyclades.
In Greek mythology, Leto gave birth to Apollo and Artemis on this island, having been shunned by Zeus' wife Hera who was extremely jealous of his liaison with Leto. They respectively carry the epithets of Cynthius and Cynthia—the latter eventually becoming a female given name, still current in English-speaking and other Western countries. The byname 'Cynthia' was also applied to Selene, the moon goddess, due to her close association with Artemis. (source: wikipedia)
