Exploring the interplay between Greek and English poetry, this study delves into the influence of ancient texts on contemporary poets. It highlights Christopher Logue's deep engagement with Homer and examines how Greek culture has inspired modern poets like Richard Berengarten and Ted Hughes. The book also traces the unique impact of Cavafy on British poetry, from E. M. Forster to Don Paterson. Through various translations and adaptations, it reveals how these connections shape the creative processes of poets across generations.
