Summary/Abstract: This article presents the instances of the image of Greece in the Romanian poetry, during one and a half century. There are comments regarding texts of important poets such as Mihai Eminescu, Lucian Blaga, Ion Barbu and Nichita Stănescu and there are pointed out the aesthetic and stylistic differences in using some common motives such as antique Greece, historical decline, the god Pan, the plentiful error (Ptolemy). Being marked by these strong poetic personalities, the image of Greece in the Romanian poetry is kaleidoscopic.
