Summary/Abstract: The monograph Cynegetica by Grattius Faliscus: Hunting in Ancient Times addresses a research gap concerning Grattius and his poem. The study focuses on the relationship between hunting and warfare, as well as the dynamics between hunter and game. The first part provides essential information on ancient hunting practices, details about Cynegetica (Grattius’s life, the poem’s dating, structure, and references to military expeditions, didactic and hunting terminology), and various editions of the work. The second part presents the first Polish translation of Cynegetica, accompanied by a philological commentary. The research examines the poet’s use of artistic expression, linguistic phenomena, references to ancient mythology, and the poem’s political undertones.
