Serifos seems to have played an important role in ancient Greece due to its subsoil and thus is associated with a couple of myths. The most important is the myth of Perseus. The great hero of Greek mythology grew up in Serifos. From Serifos he started for his adventures and there he returned after his achievement to kill Medusa.
 
Many believe that Serifos is the island of Cyclops and that here Odysseus was renamed as Kanenas (None) and there are also relatively toponyms on the Island. The Cyclops are said to have built some of the most important monuments of the island, such as the White Tower and the Walls of Liomandra.
