Keywords: Thaddaeus Zieliński; Greek; tragedy; comedy; anti-Judaism

Summary/Abstract: The paper is an attempt to assess — in an avowedly subjective manner — the significance of the work of Thaddaeus Zieliński, the most eminent Polish classicist, for the present-day studies of ancient Greek literature and culture. Taking into account the immense impact of much of Zieliński’s contributions, and their unageing influence over many classical studies topics (Greek comedy, tragedy, Homer), the discussion touches also the more controversial issues related to the works of this great scholar.
