Constantine Cavafy is considered the greatest of modern Greek poets. His poems treat historical, philosophical, and erotic themes, sometimes altogether, and share a unique voice.This volume includes a fresh translation by noted classical scholar Alan Boegehold, a translation that captures the style as well as the meaning of the Greek, and a foreword discussing Cavafy's distinctive values. Constantine Cavafy was the most improbable [and] remains among the greatest of modern Greek poets. "He wore a straw hat and stood at an angle to the uni-verse," said E.M. Forster. Deceptively simple and with hardly a metaphor in sight, Cavafy's poetry nevertheless presents an enormous challenge to any modern translator. Alan Boege-hold has several rare advantages for the task. He is a fine classicist, to whom Cavafy's forays into the Hellenistic and Byzantine past present no problems. His familiarity with the Greek language, both ancient and modern, makes him sensitive to subtle nuances that many would miss (no accident that he's an expert on Greek gestures). From the Foreword.
