He directed the first EOKA operations from his hideout in Nicosia but soon after he moved to the Troodos mountains to lead his guerrilla teams.

As the newcomers knew how to work with copper they soon moved to the so-called copperbelt of the island, that is the foothills of the Troodos mountains.

He did important research with E. M. Moores on the Ophiolite within the Troodos mountains of southern Cyprus.

Ironically, some of the classic ophiolite occurrences used to relate ophiolites to seafloor spreading ( Troodos in Cyprus, Semail in Oman ) were found to be " SSZ " ophiolites, formed by rapid extension of fore-arc crust during subduction initiation.

The Troodos Mountains, from which Digenis Akritas used to jump to Asia Minor in the epic poem

The mountain in earlier times had been known under the name of Olympus, but nowadays the highest point of the Troodos Mountains further to the west bears that name.

Willibrandi de Oldenburg, for example, visited Stavrovouni in 1211 and wrote, " The cross of the Good Thief is on the highest mountain in Cyprus "-which was wrong, as Stavrovouni is not as high as the Troodos peak.

This recognition was tied to two events: ( 1 ) the observation of magnetic anomaly stripes on the seafloor, parallel to oceanic ridge systems, interpreted by Frederick Vine and Drummond Matthews to represent the formation of new crust at the oceanic ridge and its subsequent symmetric spreading away from that ridge, and ( 2 ) the observation of a sheeted dike complex within the Troodos ophiolite ( Cyprus ) by Ian Graham Gass and co-workers, which must have formed by repetitive extension of crust and intrusion of magma resulting in a formation consisting of 100 % dikes with no older wall rocks preserved within the complex.

Moores and Vine concluded that the sheeted dike complex at Troodos could only form by a process similar to the seafloor spreading proposed by Vine and Matthews.

Tethyan ophiolites are characteristic of those that occur in the eastern Mediterranean sea area, e. g., Troodos in Cyprus and in the Middle East such as Semail in Oman, which consist of relatively complete rock series corresponding to the classic ophiolite assemblage and which have been emplaced onto a passive continental margin more or less intact ( Tethys is the name given to the ancient sea that once separated Europe and Africa ).

* Troodos Ophiolite in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus, in these case its study has partly been economically motivated as the copper deposits of Cyprus are part of the ophiolite.

Troodos slowly rose from the sea due to the collision of the African and European tectonic plates, a process that eventually formed the island of Cyprus.

Instead of linking the nine numbers of this diagram with the traditional Nine Provinces, as was usually done, this equated the odd, Yang numbers with mountains ( firm and resistant, hence Yang ) and the even numbers with rivers ( sinuous and yielding, hence Yin ) ; ;

The altitude and size of the range affects the climate in Europe ; in the mountains precipitation levels vary greatly and climatic conditions consist of distinct zones.

South of it are the lands of the Turks, where Odin had possessions ; thus, the mountains must be the Caucasus Mountains.

However, Sargon took this process further, conquering many of the surrounding regions to create an empire that reached westward as far as the Mediterranean Sea and perhaps Cyprus ( Kaptara ); northward as far as the mountains ( a later Hittite text asserts he fought the Hattite king Nurdaggal of Burushanda, well into Anatolia ); eastward over Elam ; and as far south as Magan ( Oman ) — a region over which he reigned for purportedly 56 years, though only four " year-names " survive.

The Egyptians, Plato asserted, described Atlantis as an island comprising mostly mountains in the northern portions and along the shore, and encompassing a great plain of an oblong shape in the south " extending in one direction three thousand stadia 555 km ; 345 mi, but across the center inland it was two thousand stadia 370 km ; 230 mi.

A poem of Callimachus to the goddess " who amuses herself on mountains with archery " imagines some charming vignettes: according to Callimachus, at three years old, Artemis, while sitting on the knee of her father, Zeus, asked him to grant her six wishes: to remain always a virgin ; to have many names to set her apart from her brother Apollo ; to be the Phaesporia or Light Bringer ; to have a bow and arrow and a knee-length tunic so that she could hunt ; to have sixty " daughters of Okeanos ", all nine years of age, to be her choir ; and for twenty Amnisides Nymphs as handmaidens to watch her dogs and bow while she rested.
