"The Aphrodite Inheritance" is a television production made by the BBC in 1979.
The eight-part serial, written by Michael J. Bird, was a follow-up to the success of his previous two Mediterranean-set series "The Lotus Eaters" and "Who Pays the Ferryman?". Whereas the two previous productions had been set and filmed in Crete, the action (and location filming) in "The Aphrodite Inheritance" took place in Cyprus.
The series starred Peter McEnery as a man visiting Cyprus to investigate the death of his brother and subsequently being drawn into a strange conspiracy, with the narrative twists of the serial employing various supernatural and mythological motifs. Other major cast members included Alexandra Bastedo, Brian Blessed, Paul Maxwell and Stefan Gryff.
