Cyprus is soo important to aphrodite because that is where she was tooken too after she was born
"Aphrodite was born in one of two possible ways, she is either the daughter of Dione and Zeus or she is the daughter of JUST Uranus. She may just be Uranus's daughter because one day Cronus (Uranus's son) castrated his father on his mothers bidding so he could never impregnate her again. Cronus threw the genitals into the sea and white foam started to form from the foam came a full grown women, Aphrodite. When Aphrodite arose she stood upon a seashell, in most pictures it is depicted as a scallop. As soon as she surfaced the seashell sped her away from her wounded father and to the shores of the island of present day Cyprus."
