Cy'pria, Cypris, Cyprigeneia or Cypro'genes (Κυπρία, Κύπρις, Κυπριγένεια, Κυπρογενής), surnames of Aphrodite, who was born in the island of Cyprus, which was also one of the principal seats of her worship. (Hom. Il. 5.458; Pind. O. 1.120, 11.125, Pyth. 4.383; Tib. 3.3. 34; Hor. Carm. 1.3.1.) [L.S]
(Κυπρία). A poem in early days ascribed to Homer, but denied to him by Herodotus (ii. 117). Later, its author is variously given as Stasinus or Hegesias. It detailed the causes of the Trojan War, and served as a sort of introduction to the Iliad. See Cyclic Poets; Homerus.
