The Antiquity - Text, Context and Intertext in the Works By Lesya Ukrainka

Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the works by Larysa Petrivna Kosach-Kvitka, known as Lesya Ukrainka, to spot the references to the Antiquity as a key source of the poet's inspiration. The Antique culture, especially in its Old Greek embodiment, is of utmost importance to Lesya Ukrainka’s poetry. The Antiquity shows itself in her works through a variety of topics, images, poetics and genre types that the poet adopted from the Antique culture. All these elements help her create the effect of intertextuality, through which the reality of the turn of the 20th century presented by the poet stays in a close relationship with the Antique poetic motifs.
