          Greek Cypriot sociologist

          Kyriacos C. Markides (born November 19, 1942) is a Greek Cypriot sociologist based in the United States.

          He teaches at the University of Maine and has written several books on Christian mysticism.

          Work

          Born in Nicosia, in his early books he explored first a circle of healers on Cyprus surrounding "Daskalos" (a pseudonym for Stylianos Atteshlis ), who combined some Christian beliefs with shamanistic practices, and latterly mystical Christianity through his association with a charismatic elder, Father Maximos, a former monk from Mount Athos, and a close disciple when on Athos of the great 20th-century Greek saint, Paisios of Mount Athos.

          (Maximos is, apparently,[1] Markides' pseudonym for a Cypriot bishop, namely Metropolitan Athanasios[citation needed] of Limassol.) Markides essentially returned to his Orthodox Christian roots of childhood, centering his latter books around conversations with Fr Maximos
