Folk traditionedit
There are many folk traditions associated with Gialias. In the village of Nisou in the Nicosia District, it is believed that it was once divided into two to be reunited at another point, where an island was created where the name of the village comes from.[2] Another tradition says that in the area of the village of Assia, Pedieos and Gialias were united, the countess of the area decided to separate them and bring the riverbed next to the village, to its current riverbed.[3]
