# Grażyna: Powieść Litewska

By Adam Mickiewicz.

"Grażyna: Powieść Litewska" by Adam Mickiewicz is a classical epic poem published in 1823. Set against the backdrop of pagan Lithuania, this work tells the tragic story of the heroic Grażyna and her husband Litawor. Drawing inspiration from Homer's Iliad, the poem explores themes of individual duty versus collective good, memory, and tradition. Mickiewicz created a unique hybrid form—blending classical clarity with romantic sensibility, styled in Old Polish language, and treating Lithuanian history with archaeological precision.
