Kition (Ancient Greek: Κίτιον, Phoenician: kty), also known by its Latin name Citium, was a city-kingdom on the southern coast of Cyprus (in present-day Larnaca). It was established in the 13th century BC.
It had an acropolis. The "mound gate" in the city wall, was located in the vicinity northwest of the Phaneromeni Tomb.
"In an Egyptian inscription dating to the period of Pharaoh Ramses III (1198-1116 BC) found in the temple of Medinet Habu amongst the names of other Cypriot cities, that of Kathian is considered to refer to Kition", according to P. Flourentzos (author and [Cuprus'] Curator of Archaeological Museums and Surveys).
That the settlements name might once have been Khardihadast, was suggested by E. Gjerstad—and "not accepted by other scholars studying the Phoenician period, such as Masson, Sznycer and Hill".
The city-kingdom was originally established in the 13th century BC. "New cultural elements appearing between 1200 BC and 1000 BC (personal objects, pottery, new architectural forms and ideas) are interpreted as indications of significant political changes and the arrival of the Achaeans, the first Greek colonists of Kition."Mycenaeans first settled in the area for the purpose of the exploitation of copper, but the settlement eventually faded two centuries later as a result of constant disarray and inquietude of the time.
Zeno of Citium (/ˈziːnoʊ/; Greek: Ζήνων ὁ Κιτιεύς, Zēnōn ho Kitieus; c. 334 – c. 262 BC) was a Greek thinker from Citium (Κίτιον, Kition), Cyprus, and probably of Phoenician descent. Zeno was the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy, which he taught in Athens from about 300 BC. Based on the moral ideas of the Cynics, Stoicism laid great emphasis on goodness and peace of mind gained from living a life of Virtue in accordance with Nature. It proved very successful, and flourished as the dominant philosophy from the Hellenistic period through to the Roman era.
Zeno was born c. 334 BC, in Citium in Cyprus. Most of the details known about his life come from the anecdotes preserved by Diogenes Laërtius in his Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers. Diogenes relates a legend that Zeno was a merchant; after surviving a shipwreck, Zeno wandered into a bookshop in Athens and was attracted to some writings about Socrates. He asked the librarian how to find such a man. In response, the librarian pointed to Crates of Thebes, the most famous Cynic living at that time in Greece.
Zeno is the common anglicised form of the Greek name Zenon (Ζήνων), derived from the theonym Zeus. It may refer to:

The Epicureans vs the Stoics. Greek philosophy SHOWDOWN. Sorry about the popping. Microphone issues are sorted for the next installment. I know the old music was classic but I wanted to scrub these of all potential copyright concerns.
Some of the ideas of Zeno of Citium (and other stoic philosophers) are introduced and several questions are open for debate. 1) Do you consider the universe to be a living being? Does the universe have the power of rationality? 2) Do you believe in fate? Has the future already been predetermined? Does free will exist in this world? 3) Is the universe finite or infinite in size? Is the amount of matter finite or infinite? 4) Do you agree that all crime, sin and bad behaviour is the result of ignorance? 5) Would you say that anger is always bad, in any circumstances? 6) Do you think that while emotions are mere reactions, our power of judgement gives us genuine free will?
