	Kourion
		Kourion was associated by tradition with Argos of Peloponnese, and the Kouriois believed that their city was founded by Argean immigrants and claimed to be their descendants.
		Kourion, built on imposing heights that dominate the area, also controlled the fertile valley of the river with the same name (today's river Kouris) and all the surrounding area.
		The two known kings of Kourion were Damasos, who lived in the first half of 7th century BC and Stasanor or Stisinor, according to Herodotos, who lived at the beginning of the 5th century BC.

		The mount of Kourion, on which the ancient city-kingdom developed, occupies a dominant position on the coast 4 km southwest of the village of Episkopi in the Lemesos district.
		The earliest evidence of settlement in the broader area of Kourion dates to the Neolithic period (4500-3900 B.C.), whilst the most ancient remains in the area of the ancient city itself are connected with settlements and tombs of the Middle and Late Bronze Age.
		According to tradition Kourion was founded by Argives in the 13th century BC, during the first wave of the Mycenaean expansion and others followed the Argives in the 12th century as a result of the Dorian invasion of Greece.

		To get us in the mood, we tuned the radio in to BFBS Radio One, the premier channel of the British Forces Broadcasting Service.

		The other major change in the past two decades, of course, is the shift in geographical focus, a trend initiated by the political events of 1974, but one that would perhaps have been inevitable in any case.
		While much valuable research remains to be done on the city-kingdoms, a welcome development is the inception of several new projects addressing in particular the broader economy of the countryside that supported the cities.
		As was noted regarding the earlier historic periods, however, there is new archaeological interest in the smaller settlements of the Roman countryside, some of which at least must have played a crucial role in supplying resources to the major centers.

		The roof tiles at Kourion lay exactly as they had fallen, having tumbled to the north and east, which meant that the seismic waves, arriving at right angles to the fall of the tiles, had originated from the southwest.
