Summary/Abstract: The work follows the intellectual and poetic curiosity that Koneski showed for the works of classical literature such as: Plato’s dialogues, Virgil’s Aeneid, the chronicle of Pseudo-Callisthenes, the biographies of Plutarch, etc. Koneski’s relation to classical culture is seen on several levels: according to the analysis of Plato’s teaching, by drawing thematic and motive parallels between ancient written tradition and the Macedonian oral tradition, and by the influences of ancient authors in his poetic work of which he was not aware at the time. All this would not have been possible if Koneski had no interest in the dignity of classical culture embedded in the works with which he came into contact.
