Named after two men named Evagoras, important in the history of Cyprus. The first one is Evagoras I [Greek Ευαγόρας] the King of Salamis in Cyprus (411–374 BC). King Evagoras was an important historical figure for Cyprian civilization, a model ruler, whose aim was to promote the welfare of his state and of his subjects by the cultivation of Greek refinement and civilization. The second one is Evagoras Pallikarides [Greek Ευαγόρας Παλλικαρίδης, 1938–1957], a young poet and revolutionary who was executed (hanged) during the war of 1955– 1959 against English colonials. |
