Giorgos
Seferis was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor, in 1900. He attended school in
Smyrna and finished his studies at the Gymnasium in Athens. When his family
moved to Paris in 1918, Seferis studied law at the University of Paris
and became interested in literature. He returned to Athens in 1925 and
was admitted to the Royal Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the following
year. This was the beginning of a long and successful diplomatic career,
during which he held posts in England (1931-1934) and Albania (1936-1938
). During the Second World War, Seferis accompanied the Free Greek Government
in exile to Crete, Egypt, South Africa, and Italy, and returned to liberated
Athens in 1944. He continued to serve in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
end held diplomatic posts in Ankara (1948-1950) and London (1951-1953).
He was appointed minister to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq (1953-1956),
and was Royal Greek Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 1957 to 1961,
the last post before his retirement in Athens. Seferis received many honours
and prizes, among them honorary doctoral degrees from the universities
of Cambridge (1960), Oxford (1964), Salonika (1964), and Princeton (1965).
His wide travels provide the backdrop and colour for much of Seferis's
writing, which is filled with the themes of alienation, wandering, and
death. Seferis's early poetry consists of Strophe (Turning Point), 1931,
a group of rhymed Lyrics strongly influenced by the Symbolists, and E
Sterna (The Cistern), 1932, conveying an image of man's most deeply felt
being which lies hidden from, and ignored by, the everyday world. His
mature poetry, in which one senses an awareness of the presence of the
past and particularly of Greece's great past as related to her present,
begins with Mythistorema (Mythistorema), 1935, a series of twenty-four
short poems which translate the Odyssean myths into modern idiom. In Tetradio
Gymnasmaton (Book of Exercises), 1940, Emerologio Katastromatos (Logbook
I), 1940, Emerologio Katastromatos B (Logbook II), 1944, Kihle (Thrush),
1947, and Emerologio Katastromatos C (Logbook III), 1955, Seferis is preoccupied
with the themes he developed in Mythistorema, using Homer's Odyssey as
his symbolic source; however, in "The King of Asine" (in Logbook
I), considered by many critics his finest poem, the source is a single
reference in the Iliad to this all-but-forgotten king.
The recent book of poetry, Tria Krypha Poiemata (Three Secret Poems),
1966, consists of twenty-eight short lyric pieces verging on the surrealistic.
In addition to poetry, Seferis has published a book of essays, Dokimes
(Essays), 1962, translations of works by T.S. Eliot, and a collection
of translations from American, English, and French poets entitled Antigrafes
(Copies), 1965. Seferis's collected poems (1924-1955) have appeared both
in a Greek edition (Athens, 1965) and in an American one with translations
en face (Princeton, 1967). From Nobel Lectures, Literature 1901-1967.
Giorgos Seferis died in 1971.
