The Aeneid (Енеїда) by Ivan Kotliarevsky is a brilliant Ukrainian literary classic and the first major work written in modern Ukrainian. A playful reimagining of Virgil’s epic, Kotliarevsky’s Aeneid transforms ancient heroes into lively Cossacks and infuses the story with humor, satire, and national spirit. Through rich folk language and vivid caricature, the poem celebrates Ukrainian culture while offering sharp commentary on social and political realities of the time.
