O Κ. Π. Καβάφης (1863-1933) έζησε το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της ζωής του και έγραψε σχεδόν όλο του το έργο του στην Αλεξάνδρεια.
Όπως είχε δηλώσει και ο ίδιος, η Ιστορία και η αρχαιομάθεια ήταν από τα προσφιλή πνευματικά του ενδιαφέροντα ήδη από τη νεότητά του.
Αργότερα, διοχέτευσε αυτό το ενδιαφέρον στα ποιήματά του, ειδικά σε όσα έγραψε κατά την περίοδο της ωριμότητας (1911 κ.εξ.).
Πώς ερμηνεύεται αυτός ο ποιητικός «ιστορικισμός»; Είναι αποτέλεσμα αποκλειστικά προσωπικής επιλογής;
Με ποιους όρους και με ποιους τρόπους εκφράζεται η διαπίδυση της Ιστορίας στην ποίησή του; Μήπως, ως ποιητής της διασποράς, στρέφεται προς την Ιστορία, προκειμένου να διατηρηθεί ζωντανή η εθνική συλλογική μνήμη;
Ή μήπως η αναπαράσταση ειδικά του ελληνιστικού παρελθόντος γίνεται ένα μέσον, ένα όχημα, για να τεθούν άλλα ζητήματα;
