Salamis (Ancient  Greek: Σαλαμίς, Greek: Σαλαμίνα, Turkish: Salamis) is an ancient Greek  city-state on the east coast of Cyprus, at the mouth of the river Pedieos, 6 km  north of modern Famagusta. According to tradition, the founder of Salamis was  Teucer, son of Telamon, king of the Greek island of Salamis, who could not  return home after the Trojan war because he had failed to avenge his brother  Ajax.
