Zbigniew Herbert embarked on several journeys to Greece, immersing himself in places that hold significant value in both Greek culture and the broader European classical tradition. Among these were Athens, Delphi, Corinth, Mycenae, and Sparta. These explorations inspired a series of essays and poems that underscore Herbert's deep admiration for Greek culture. The resulting book offers an exploration of the central themes and distinctive characteristics of Herbert's travel writing on Greece, set against the backdrop of other literary explorations by writers who ventured into the same culturally rich landscape.
