The Pursuit of Greece

Travellers, poets, artists, even scholars, still go to Greece in search of something they feel that no other land quite offers them.

During the last hundred and more years the Greek world has produced a wealth of poetry that is as astonishing in its scope as it is in its vigour, and this anthology brings together a selection from the works of the five poets who may be said to take pride of place in substantiating this achievement. Two of them, George Seferis and Odyss... more
