The study presents a look at one of the most common crimes of the past - infanticide. It was conducted using materials stored in the State Regional Archives, from files in the Women's Prison in Repy, the most important of which are archive materials (books and bundles) from 1864-1948; prison in Repy was intended for convicts from Czech Lands and after 1918 from whole Czechoslovakia; during these 84 years 946 women were captive in prison because of infanticide. The study focuses on information about the number of women convicted for the crime of infanticide, their lives (age, social and family background, marital status, education level, ethnic structure and occupation), location where the crime was commited, method and reasons that led women to commit infanticide. Also presented are the length of the sentences, the potential aggravation of the sentence, and the situation surrounding the release of the individual. All this information is supplemented with samples of papers that have survived. The study also includes an excursion into life in a prison.

The article aims to examine how the motif of killing a child by one of his parents, regardless of the age of victim (abortion is however excluded from this analysis), functions in dramatic works (practicurally in tragedies) and why it can by treated as a special challenge to present this deed in mentioned type of literature. The analysis bases on the selected dramas — especially the Medea by Euripides. Many other characters noted derive also from the ancient Greek-Roman literature, that often refers to the mythology. At the end is also investigated, why Medea, though the motif of the killing own children is repellent and often not easy be presented, appears continuously in literature (not only in dramatic works).
