Also, I seem to recall that in the Middle Ages the alchemists connected copper with Venus the planet; this seems bizarre if you don't factor in the Cyprus connection, because Venus the planet appears whitish, and mars is actually more coppery in colour - they explained it as blood shed in war.

Thanks for this bit! Venus from the copper island - this makes sense.
