Maykov’s Elisey; ili, razdrazhenny Vakkh (1769; “Elisei; or, Bacchus Enraged”) cleverly parodies a Russian translation of the Aeneid with a narrative in which the Greek pantheon directs whores, drunks, and other low-lifes. In Dushenka: drevnyaya povest v volnykh stikhakh (1783; “Dushenka: An Ancient Tale in Free Verse”), Bogdanovich produced a light and witty updating of the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche.
