Summary/Abstract: After the discovery of the Perast and Milan manuscripts, namely the complete text of Vetranović's Istorija od Dijane, not much has been written about this dramatic work. This paper focuses on a scene near the end of the play which describes Mercury's intervention after Diana frees Cupid. The intervention of the messengers of the Gods invites a procreative interpretation of Eros, which is a certain specificity in relation to other Croatian and, to go even further, other pastorals of the sixteenth century.
