about

This piece has been written as a tribute to the courage of the people of Ukraine in the face of the suffering and martyrdom they have been victims of during this month of February 2022.

The title “Eneyida” is intended to be a reference to the eponymous burlesque poem written by Ivan Kotlyarevsky in 1798, who is considered to be the founder of literature in the Ukrainian language of.
This poem is considered to be the first literary work published entirely in the modern Ukrainian language. Although Ukrainian is an everyday language for millions of people in Ukraine, its use in literature has been officially discouraged in the area controlled by Imperial Russia.
Eneyida is a parody of Virgil’s Aeneid, where Kotlyarevsky has transformed the heroes of Troy into Zaporozhsky Cossacks. The critics think that it was created in the light of the destruction of the Zaporozhsky Hetmanate ordered by Catherine the Great. The poem was written during the development of romanticism and nationalism in Europe. At the time, some of the Ukrainian elite were overcome by nostalgia for the Cossack state, eliminated by Russia in 1775–1786.
The first three parts of the poem were published in 1798 in Saint Petersburg, without the author’s knowledge. The full “Eneyida” poem was published after the death of Kotlyarevsky in 1842, and would only be translated in 1933 in the American journal Ukrainian Weekly. However, the first full English translation was only published in 2006 in Canada by a Ukraine Canadian called Bohdan Melnyk.
