Card covers, limited edition of 1000 of which this is no 147, signed by the author. C.P. Cavafy is often called "The Epicurean Poet" due to his focus on the pleasures of life, including the sensual and the intellectual, and his exploration of human experiences and relationships within historical and mythological contexts. His works, particularly his poems like "Ithaca," delve into themes of pleasure, desire, and the search for meaning and beauty in a world often characterized by chaos and uncertainty. Here's a more detailed look: Epicureanism: Cavafy's poetry reflects the Epicurean philosophy, which emphasizes the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain, both physical and mental. He explores the simple joys of life, such as the pleasures of love, companionship, and the beauty of nature, as well as the more profound pleasures of knowledge and understanding.
