Abstracts

EN

The contribution is devoted to a frequently overlooked, yet very important aspect of the professional activity of the Czech scholar, pedagogue and translator Pavel Oliva, who is celebrating his 90th birthday this November. The author of this contribution defined important facets of his work, which have not yet been evaluated in Czech Classical studies so far: producing portraits of significant historical figures (Solon, Demosthenes, Polybius, Spartacus), popular-synthetic synopses about the history and culture of Ancient Greece, encyclopaedic entries, translations of Classical authors (Greek poetry, Polybius, Demosthenes, Aristotle), and the Holocaust as a memory of a distant past.
