The Neo-Latin poetry of the Kyivan poetics has been little studied hitherto. In the present article, the author examines some Neo-Latin poetical composition of the epideictic genre (that comprehended congratulations and panegyrics) dedicated to the figure of Rafajil Zaborovs’kyj. Poetical compositions in Latin were usually provided in the Kyivan poetics as models of a particular rule, poetic genre, rhetorical figure, or stylistic strategy that was being taught, and therefore they are also examined taking into account their didactic function. Through the analysis of such poetical compositions, the author shows the ways through which, by inscribing Greek-Latin mythology into their reality, Kyivan professors of poetics aimed to insert contemporary Ukraine into the European Latinitas.
