In Baroque literature the polar confronting systems, such as Christianity and Antique Mythology, coexisted harmonically. Assimilation of myths occured according to the aesthetics of that epoch – myth was an uncomprehensive source of a symbol and allegory. In 1701, in the town Skalitsa of Slovakia, anonymous Jesuit based on the historical sources wrote a school drama under the title: “Catherine (Ketevan), Queen of Georgians, Decorated with Her Own Blood, Presented on the Stage”. In this school drama are two plans: one depicts real persons and events, while the other is its reconsideration in the aspect of Antique mythology. This second context is presented in the drama as a prologue, two choruses and an epilogue. The author, to offer symbolic sense selected a myth about Galatea, Acid and Polyphemus. The play construed on the plot taken from the history of Georgia is an interesting example of the Baroque epoch aesthetics.
