Eneyida
Eneyida (Ukrainian for "Aeneid") is a Ukrainian burlesque poem, written by Ivan Kotlyarevsky in 1798. This mock-heroic poem is considered to be the first literary work published wholly in the modern Ukrainian language. Although Ukrainian was an everyday language to millions of people in Ukraine, it was officially discouraged from literary use in the area controlled by Imperial Russia. 

"Eneyida" is a parody of Virgil's "Aeneid", where Kotlyarevsky transformed the Trojan heroes into Zaporozhian Cossacks. Critics believe that it was written in the light of the destruction of Zaporizhian Host by the order of Catherine the Great. The poem was written during the formation of romanticism and nationalism in Europe. At that time, part of the Ukrainian elite was gripped by nostalgia for the Cossack state, which was liquidated by Russia in 1775–1786.

The first three parts of the poem were published in 1798 in St. Petersburg, without the author's knowledge. The complete «Eneyida» was published after Kotlyarevsky's death in 1842.

The poem is in top-100 list by «From Skovoroda to modern time: 100 most important creative art in Ukrainian».
