Osipov's Eneida is a parody of Virgil's Aeneid, where the Trojan heroes talk like 18th-century Russians.

Osipov's Eneida (1791) and Kotliarevsky's Eneida (1798)

Osipov's Eneida was a model for Ivan Kotliarevsky’s seminal 1798 Ukrainian-language version, although the latter used a different setting and adopted a new verse form.
