Cyprus is an island of legends that basks year-round in the light of the warm Mediterranean sun. A story past 10,000 years long has seen civilizations come and go and the likes of everyone from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra "stake their claim here" - but then, people do tend to get possessive when faced with such beauty. Aphrodite made her home on Cyprus, and travellers throughout antiquity came here just to pay her tribute.
Thank you!

Эрика, спасибо...Остров стал свидетелем сменявших друг друга цивилизаций и монархов от Александра Македонского до Клеопатры, заявлявших о своих правах на остров.

: "заявляли". Цитаты: После смерти Александра Македонского ... Кипр достается державе Птолемеев Египетских - http://www.vse-na-kipr.ru/hist.html // Клеопатру он провозгласил царицей Египта, Кипра и Южной Сирии... - www.ref.by/refs/32/36725/1.html

: Возможно, "притязаниях"... Вообще, с формулировкой можно еще поиграть, но смысл безусловно в том, что они пытались прибрать его к рукам. :)
