The scamandrites are the most famous and influential literary group in free Poland. Czesław Miłosz, who formulated his artistic program in opposition to the scamandrites, said after many years, in "Traktacie poetyckim" (1957): „There has never been such a beautiful pleiade." Let's add: a pleiade of poets whose work today is a classic of 20th-century Polish literature. The skamanadrites program was a non-existent program. Apparently, the poets in the group did not create any artistic manifestos, nor did they provide a theory explaining the essence of their poetic creativity. However, in the preface to the first issue of the magazine, where they justified their opposition to any programs, they sketched their non-program program. Skamandrit's work was related to Warsaw; this is where this group was founded around „Pro arte et studio” and „Pro arte”. Joint performances played a significant role in its stabilization - from November 1918 to March 1919 - in a literary café - the cabaret of the name „Pod Picadorem". The founders of scamandrite, the so-called „Big Five", were among the greatest Polish poets and prose writers.
