Mit o Anteuszu z perspektywy polskich losów
The myth about Antaeus from the perspective of Poland’s vicissitudes

Summary/Abstract: The author points out that the Greek myths still possess not only artistic charm but also have timely message. One such myth is the particularly moving myth about Antaeus. The reason is that it illustrates the importance of land as a source of strength. And since the vicissitudes of Poland include the fight for land, therefore the author focused on showing the sense, in which the old Greek myth may be associated with the Polish fate. The author concludes his divagations stating that owning land lies at the heart of the Latin civilisation as well as the values and ideals found in it. The author emphasises that the possession of land by the Poles is of pivotal significance not only from the point of view of economy or emotionality but, above all, taking into account the development of civilisation. Further to the above, in our history it has always been crucial to own land.
