Abstract
In this paper I present and compare briefly two of the greatest Slavic poets, Divo Franov Gundulic (1589-1638)1, from Dubrovnik2 (in Italian and Latin Ragusa) on the eastern coast of the Adriatic in Croatia3, and Ivan Mafuranic (1814-1890), from Novi in the Vinodol region of the Croatian littoral. In dealing briefly with these two epic poets I want to raise the issue of the so-called 'Slavic' epic.
