Dialog Jana Kasprowicza z tragikami greckimi
Jan Kasprowicz’s Dialogue with Greek Playwrights

Summary/Abstract: Jan Kasprowicz was one of the most prominent authors at the turn of the 20th century. He was also a very eager translator. All scholars agree that, above all, he was interested in works of those authors who expressed ideas similar to those he himself believed. In my paper I would like to take a closer look at two works by Kasprowicz, Baśń nocy świętojańskiej and Uczta Herodjady, and discuss whether the Oresteia by Aeschylus, which Kasprowicz translated at the time, influenced those works.
