His name is not know by many people.However he constitutes a real gem in the newer history of Cyprus and a heroic figure and a new martyr of the Orthodox Church. Polydoros was born in Nicosia, Cyprus a little bit after the middle of the 18th century.He was hang in New Efessos (Yeni Kusandasi) on September 3rd 1794.
Those were difficult years. Years of darkness. Years of harsh slavery. Even so, his parents Hadjiloukas and Lourdanou, who were God-respecting and devoted persons, made sure to give their child a Christian upbringing and they send him to study theology. When Polydoros grew up, he was naturally intelligent and creative and for this reason, he got started in the trade business.
For his work, he began to travel in various parts of the world including Egypt. For a time, he followed the advices of his parents,and was careful about who he made friends with and their voices echoed permanently in his ears and restrained him from getting into bad company. However with time his attention became weak.
