This study delves into the concepts of sacredness and profanity, along with other related aesthetic expressions present in Milan Ferko’s historical play, Obrana Metodova (1985). Ferko’s innovative approach, incorporating modern and postmodern literary techniques, attempts to deconstruct ideals associated with historical figures, such as the saints Constantine and Methodius, in Slovak drama. The author’s narrative talent is evident also in his other intriguing characters created through the functional combination of the medieval and contemporary vocabulary, syntax, and stylization. The captivating mystification, particularly surrounding Constantine and Pope Hadrian II, studied in this article, serves as a commentary on the ongoing and debated topic of adhering to priestly celibacy. Milan Ferko convincingly and vividly mystifies the continuously portrayed theme in Slovak literature within the historical play Obrana Metodova, aligning it with the modern literary tendencies of the late 20th century.
