The only authentic annotated edition of all published poems by K. P. Cavafy, featuring systematic philological, historical, and aesthetic commentary, rich numismatic illustrations, a comprehensive introduction about his life and the significance of his work, critical bibliography, chronological tables, thematic appendices, and over 600 footnotes that reflect the entirety of collected research by Greek and foreign scholars on the work of the great Alexandrian.

Cavafy's poetry, the most significant modern Greek intellectual creation of the 20th century, which was popularized among the general public by the Anthology of H. N. Apostolidis since 1933 -even before the first complete edition of the poet appeared!-, is now thoroughly analyzed and evaluated using the strictest criteria by Reno H. Apostolidis and his sons, Irko and Stantis.
