The main topic of this research are the original works of Dubrovnik plays from the 16th and 17th century within the Trojan War theme. In the rework of their writing, Nikola Nalješković, Marin Držić and Junije Palmotić make use of the ancient models from Euripides, Publius Ovidius Naso and Publius Papinius Statius by adapting the genre to fit the Dubrovnik audience. Dubrovnik's theater audience is used to pastorals, therefore fairies and satyrs find a place in these antique adaptations as well. The graduation thesis presents a new viewpoint that points out how Nalješković followed Ovid's Heroides while writing his own work and substantiated it with thematic and spatial similarities, bearing in mind the previous academic findings. Differences in the plot are noted and linked with the spread of political dogma. Similar questions are answered in the analysis of Držić's Hekuba, which is the only work elaborated in relation to two originals. It is shown how Držić wants to politically awaken Dubrovnik audiences and how he warns the government through the ideas of Euripides. By introducing anachronistic terms („ban and „Crkva”), he further actualizes the act and by using the terms „višnji” and „bogugodan” he Christianizes the action. Similar methods were used by Palmotić in writing the play Natjecanje Ajača i Ulisa za oružje Akilovo. The paper shows that in the final scene Palmotić moves away from Ovid's narrative poem and omits the tragedy of the work. When writing the work, the author from Dubrovnik simplifies the expression of the Roman writer to convey the work to the audience more easily and succeeds in his intention. He was less faithful to the original in writing Akile, a play dealing with Achilles' life on Skyros. Palmotić intervenes a great deal in the original plot to the point that by the beginning of the third act he is practically writing his own work. It is interesting to see how he removed morally questioning motives, such as Deidamia's rape in his adaptation. Dubrovnik writers were mostly successful in their adaptations of ancient works.
