Cyrene is steeped in mystery and myth. To the Ancient Greeks, she was a huntress who slayed wild beasts with a bronze-tipped javelin and bewitched Apollo by battling a lion with her bare hands. She was the daughter of a king or perhaps a river god. She may have been a nymph, not a mortal.

For centuries, the city of Cyrene in Libya, built in her honour at the behest of Apollo, was a prosperous place of great cultural and political importance. Fought over by Spartans and Romans, beloved by the Emperor Hadrian and home of the Temple of Zeus, Cyrene was the birthplace of scholars and philosophers and, according to the Bible, of the man who carried the cross of Jesus.
