Abstract

This study attempts to read and classify the Cavafian corpus according to the forms of appropriation that these poems make of ancient Greco-Roman history and culture. For this, an attempt will be made to identify the main literary motifs and themes that the poems deal with, and then proceed to classify them according to the ways in which these themes are treated in the context of Cavafian poetics.


Keywords: Cavafis, Greece, Rome, Classical Tradition, Literary Appropriation.
