Description The paper deals with mapping the so-called "Greek orientation" in the philology of the Czech revivalist and post-revivalist period. Within Czech Slavic studies, there was very strong representation of the opinion that Czech resembled Ancient Greek, especially in the works of Jungmann, Palacký, and Šafařík, as well as in striking treatises by Řehoř Dankovský (1784–1857), a professor of classical philology who demonstrated a direct kinship between these two languages. This Greek orientation continued in Czech philology even at the turn of the 20th century in the works of classical philologists, which still offered cultural and etymological interpretations influenced a priori – in an analysis of Greek and Czech words – by patriotic interests.
