description This paper explores the Onassis Foundation’s transformative impact on C.P. Cavafy’s legacy by bridging traditional literary heritage with contemporary digital culture. Through strategic digitization, global events, and social media campaigns, the Foundation has expanded Cavafy’s reach, reframing him as both a cultural asset and a networked figure for contemporary audiences. The study examines how this institutional approach shapes perceptions of Cavafy’s work, balancing authenticity with celebrity-making, and considers the implications for Modern Greek literature’s visibility on the global stage.
