Title A name given to the resource Football Excitement, Thematic Issue Subject The topic of the resource Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Description An account of the resource Football, the most popular game watched by millions the world over is believed to have descended from the ancient Greek game of Harpaston which is frequently mentioned in classical literature. It seems it was first mentioned in England in 1170 when an account described youths going to the fields for a game of ball. Variations of the game are also documented in Egyptian and Greek societies proving that the sport has a long tradition throughout history. In the 1800s football was picked up as a sport in seven public schools in England. A meeting at Cambridge in 1848 drew up the rules outlining goal kicks, throw-ins and goalkeeper’s rights which apply to this day. Over the years the game spread across the world and the first ever match outside Europe was played in Argentina in 1867. September 8th 1888 was the first day of English Football League matches but the points system had not been finalized yet. An unusual event occurred on Christmas eve 1914 when upon hearing German troops singing carols, both sides walked on to no man’s land and played a game of football. It goes to show how true football unites supporters and brings nations together, overriding cultural differences and creating an exciting camaraderie.

Title A name given to the resource Horses, Thematic Issue Subject The topic of the resource Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Description An account of the resource Looking at the magnificent breeds of horses we have, it would be hard for anyone to believe that they evolved from multi-toed dwarf creatures that lived some 55 million years ago. These days a horse measuring less than 147cm at maturity is considered to be a pony. Over many thousands of years, man has by selective breeding determined the shape, colour, size and the task for which a horse is bred. There are many breeds such as the Andalusian, known for its docility and the Arab for its gracefulness. At Tübengen University in Germany, one can see mankind’s earliest work of art, a 35,000 years old wild horse made from mammoth ivory. The Hyskos introduced the horse into Egypt after 1800 BC and by 1600 BC they were being used in war with chariots. In the Tell-el-Amarna letters they are mentioned as imported to Egypt from Mesopotamia and Cyprus. In the 144th Olympiad in 204 BC a Cypriot from Karpasia named Ariston was the champion rider in the “Mature Riding Horses” class. Ιn China, horses were highly valued because of the superiority of cavalry over infantry in war. In 101 BC the Emperor Wu in the Chinese capital of Chang’an composed the following poem/hymn while awaiting the arrival of more than thirty superior horses from a successful military campaign: The Heavenly horses are coming Coming from the West They crossed the flowing sands For the barbarians are conquered. The heavenly horses have comeAnd the dragon will follow in their wakeI shall reach the heavens I shall see the Palace of God.

Title A name given to the resource Children’s Booklet, The Hare and the Tortoise Subject The topic of the resource Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Description An account of the resource Αesop, (6th century BC) was a Greek legendary fabulist. The Roman poet Phaedrus popularized Aesop’s fables in the 1st century AD and in 1668 La Fontaine immortalized the stories when he re-wrote them in splendid verse. The story of the Hare and the Tortoise is one of the best known of Aesop’s fables. When the hare ridiculed the tortoise for its slow movements, the tortoise replied by challenging the hare to a race. The hare burst out laughing but accepted the challenge. The fox gave the signal to set off the race. The hare was off like a shot but the tortoise began walking slowly at a steady pace. The hare seeing that the tortoise was far behind, felt so sure of himself and victory that he lay down under a tree and fell asleep. When the hare eventually woke up he saw that the tortoise had already reached the finishing line. He had lost the race. All Aesop’s fables have a moral to convey and this one tells us that he who is modest in life achieves his goals in the end.

Title A name given to the resource Christopher Pissarides, Nobel Prize Winner, Commemorative Issue Subject The topic of the resource Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Description An account of the resource Christopher Pissarides was born in 1948 in Lefkosia. After graduating from the Pancyprian Gymnasium, he continued his studies at the University of Essex and subsequently obtained his PhD from the London School of Economics. In 2010 he became the first Cypriot to be awarded a Nobel Prize. Together with his colleagues Dale T. Mortensen and Peter Diamond they shared the prize in economic sciences “for their analysis of markets with search frictions”. Peter Diamond had analysed the foundation of search markets whilst Pissarides and Mortensen had expanded and applied the theory to the labour market. Their work allows us to understand and analyse how unemployment, job vacancies, job creations and wages are affected by economic policies and regulations. Pissarides’ book “Equilibrium Unemployment Theory” is the acknowledged standard reference book on the subject. Christopher Pissarides is currently President of the National Economic Council reporting directly to the President of the Republic of Cyprus and a professor of economics at the LSE.

Title A name given to the resource Tall Ships, Thematic Issue Subject The topic of the resource Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Description An account of the resource Fall ships are large traditionally rigged sailing vessels that evolved from the first sailing boat that man devised many thousands of years ago. It is said that the ancient Egyptians were the first to build sailing vessels and today one can still admire the Dhow, a lateen rigged Arabian sea-ship of the 19th century. This vessel has a triangular sail on long yard at an angle of 45 degrees to the mast. Yards are the long horizontal spars that are mounted at right angles to the mast. Traditional rigging includes square-rigs and gaff rigs with separate topmasts and topsails. Square-rigged ships have square sails attached to the yards, while gaff-rigged vessels fly four-sided gaff sails which have a heavy spar at the top and a boom at the foot of the sail. According to their rig the vessels are known as: “Schooner”, “Brigantine”, “Bargue”, “Caravel”, “Galleon”, etc. There are four classes of vessels: Class A- are giant sailing ships which are square-rigged and are over 48.8m. Class B- are Fore-and-aft rigged vessels between 30.5m. and 48.8m.Class C- are like Class B but are under 30.5m. Class D- are vessels with spinnaker-like sails. A spinnaker is a large triangular sail carried opposite mainsail of racing yacht running before wind.
