The Story of Cinthia
On a moonlit night over 2,000 years ago, a child was born on a sacred mountain, and whispers of her name still echo.
Cinthia is a lyrical variation of Cynthia, itself derived from the Greek Kynthia, meaning 'from Mount Kynthos.' This mountain on the island of Delos was the mythical birthplace of Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunt. As the legend of Artemis spread, so did her epithet, weaving through ancient Greek poetry and later adopted into Roman culture.
