C.P. Cavafy
C.P. Cavafy is arguably the best-known "Greek" poet. Based in Alexandria, Egypt, Cavafy was of Greek ancestry and wrote primarily on historic and mythological events of Greece. If you like Rumi, the 13th century Sufi mystic whose poetry is enjoying a great Renaissance, I think you'll also enjoy and appreciate Cavafy.
