You are watching one of the seven meetings-like-lessons which starts from the analysis of C. P. Cavafy’s poem “In the Month of Athyr” by Takis Kayalis, Professor of Modern Greek Literature, Hellenic Open University. All of these meetings aim to explore and analyze the literary and cultural context in which the works were written. Thus, each poem becomes a bridge leading to a larger discussion, examining the connections with other Cavafy poems as well as Greek and foreign literary figures and artists.
The conversation took place on 13.05.2017 at the Onassis Library.
