i. 741 Aphrodite and her dove in Kypros. W. N. Bates 'Aphrodite's Doves at Paphos
in 1932' in the Am. Journ. Philol. 1932 liii. 260 f. notes that the church of St George
at New Paphos, built over a temple of Aphrodite (?), has in front of its iconostasis five
white doves, which hold in their beaks cords supporting lamps. A larger church recently
erected in the neighbourhood again has the same arrangement of five white doves holding
lamp-cords. Finally the twelfth-century monastery of St Neophytus, some seven miles
from Ktima, can boast the bones of the saint kept in a wooden box made by himself.
'Above them is a sort of canopy surmounted by two rude wooden doves gilded.' Bates
rightly concludes that 'Aphrodite's doves still have a place in their ancient home.'
