Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes three published plays by Anica Savić Rebac, in the order in which Darinka Zličić published them in the book Poetry and Minor Poetic Translations. In the play Nijova (Niobe), the influence of Ovid’s Metamorphoses is recognized, in Electra, a somewhat more original plot created by combining elements from Euripides’ Electra and Goethe’s Iphigenia, while in the play Poslednja sveštenica Palade Atine (The Last Priestess of Pallas Athena), the process of disintegration of the dramatic text is observed. In the network of influences, the author’s father, Milan Savić, translator of Goethe into Serbian and the original playwright, stands out as a special figure. The dramatic opus of Anica Savić Rebac is shown to be a relevant part of her opus, and in the aforementioned plays it is possible to find the beginnings of the central themes of the author’s poetic and essayistic work.
