C.P. Cavafy

Constantine P. Cavafy was a Greek poet born in Alexandria, Egypt in 1863. His most famous work, "Ithaka," reflects his introspective and melancholic style, often exploring themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. Cavafy's rich imagery and unique blend of classicism and modernism have made him a seminal figure in Greek literature.
