Descrição: First of all, he lived in Alexandria rather than Athens, which was then becoming the center of Hellenic culture. [...]instead of composing in demotic, he chose a mixture between the vernacular and the archaistic language known as Katharevousa. [...]he wrote frankly about homoerotic desire and that shocked contemporary readers. [...]Cavafy was able to foresee the cultural and political milieu of the second half of the twentieth and the first decades of the twenty-first centuries.
