Summary/Abstract: The paper follows the motif of brothers’ quarrel in Simovic’s poetry in three thematic streams: mythical-anthropological, historical and the stream with the topic of brothers’ reconciliation. Varying this motif, the poet relates and intertwines the mythical and anthropological with the historical experience, and the aspect of peacemaking links with St. Sava and a woman. The motif of quarreling brothers and fratricide is one of the fundamental motifs on which Simovic builds his pessimistic view on history and the world.
