Summary

There is something Platonic in Cavafy's love, which wants him to be not the offspring of Aphrodite but of Pena, and as such, love in Cavafy's man is experienced as deprivation. In the face of this unfulfillment, the poet (re)shapes bodies as instruments of freedom in his otherwise heavy monasticism. While with memory, he takes refuge in the chamber of an ideal past that resists the ravages of time, ensuring the desire for the beautiful, the eternally sweet and unadulterated. In the book at hand we have gathered all those voluptuous and erotic of Cavafy's poems, thus composing a literary journey into the mystical desires of the human soul, as mapped by one of the greatest poets of Hellenism.
