King Cinyras is a figure from ancient Greek mythology, often associated with the region of Cyprus. He is known for his wealth and his role as a ruler, particularly in the stories surrounding the goddess Aphrodite, who was said to have a connection to the island. In some myths, Cinyras is depicted as the father of Myrrha, who was cursed to fall in love with him. This tragic tale leads to significant consequences, including the birth of Adonis, a figure celebrated for his beauty and connection to Aphrodite.
