Cypriot Litterateurs in Egypt

Abstract

The Greek community prospered and flowered in Egypt during the last decades of the 19th century up to the 1960s and produced one of the Greek language’s great poets, Constantine P. Cavafy. In Egypt’s major cities, especially Alexandria and Cairo, a large number of Cypriots, who are less known or still unknown, lived and wrote poems and prose theater, as well as articles and reviews.
