"Aeneid" Ivan Kotlyarevsky

“The Aeneid” is a Ukrainian burlesque-travesty poem written by the writer Ivan Kotlyarevsky, based on the plot of the classical poem of the same name by the Roman poet Virgil. Consists of six parts, as opposed to Virgil's twelve parts. Written in iambic tetrameter.

The poem was written during the formation of romanticism and nationalism in Europe, against the backdrop of nostalgia among part of the Ukrainian elite for the Cossack state, liquidated by Russia in 1775–1786. “The Aeneid” is the first large-scale monument of Ukrainian writing in spoken Ukrainian. The poem marked the beginning of the formation of modern Ukrainian literature.
