Antiquity’s forgotten heir: early medieval classical reception in the Eastern Slavic tradition Open Access

This essay aims to provide a simple but substantial overview of the early medieval classical reception in the Eastern Slavic culture. Using evidence from archaeological sites, folkloric tales, and Old Church Slavonic texts, it will explore how the Eastern Slavic population interacted with classical antiquity pre-Peter the Great, before the 17th-18th centuries’ reforms artificially incorporated the Greco-Roman antiquity into art, literature, and education in the Russian Empire. The goal is to provide a solid foundation for the more explored periods of classical reception in the Eastern Slavic tradition, while simultaneously highlighting its continuous awareness of the Greco-Roman past. This essay intends to diversify the discussion by the introduction of a new, fresh example, not so explored by western scholarship. It believes that the parallels and contrasts that can be traced between common western examples and the Slavic experience can benefit greatly our understanding of classical reception as a worldwide phenomenon affecting various - and sometimes unexpected - cultures up to modern days.
