C. P. Cavafy (Konstantinos Petrou Kavafis) is one of the most important Greek poets since antiquity. He was born, lived, and died in Alexandria (18631933), with brief periods spent in England, Constantinople, and Athens. Cavafy set in motion the most powerful modernism in early twentiethcentury European poetry, exhibiting simple truths about eroticism, history, and philosophyan inscrutable triumvirate that informs the Greek language and culture in all their diachrony. The Cavafy Canon plays with the complexities of ironic Socratic thought, suffused with the honesty of unadorned iambic verse.Based on a fiftyyear continuous scholarly and literary interaction with Cavafys poetry and its Greek and western European intertexts, John Chioles has produced an authoritative and exceptionally nuanced translation of the complex linguistic registers of Cavafys Canon into English.
