After that they get involved in the his- tories of Christianity, medievalism, modern France and England, and the continuing story of the ancient cultures is forgotten.

For this reason, as well as for the quality of the poetry, the trans- lation of the’ poems of this first rate Greek poet, C. P. ‘Cavafy, is important. He was born in 1863 and died in 1933. The poet finds his inspiration in. the ancient his- tory of Greece, but in the Hellen- istie blending of cultures and races in Alexandria and Antioch, more than in Homer and the age of Pericles. Much of the poet’s imagery is drawn from the myths of ancient Greece and the old Greek gods. But much of it too is about cafes and young artists and friendships and lives in the first part of the century. And some of the settings are Sparta and Libya, Beirut and is book is important :to the reader who wants 1o khow one con- tribution of modern Greece. to.the field of poetry.
