Hanibal Lucić (Croatian pronunciation: [xǎnibal lûtsitɕ]) or Annibale Lucio (c. 1485 – 14 December 1553) was a Croatian Renaissance poet and playwright, author of the first secular drama in Croatian. [1] [2]
He was born to a Dalmatian noble family of Antun and Goja in Hvar, where he spent most of his life. Early in his youth, he was a judge and later became a lawyer of the Hvar municipality. [3] As a witness of the Hvar Rebellion in 1510, he was forced to flee to Trogir and Split as he resisted the demands of the commoners. [4] He had a disparaging stance towards the lower rebel peasantry, referring to them as "a bunch who have no thought".[ citation needed]
His early literary work became associated with the translations of Ovid's work ( Croatian:"iz latinske odiće svukavši u našu harvacku priobukal" [5]). His writings are primarily recorded to be written in the Southern Čakavian dialect. He wrote the drama ( Robinja, the first South Slavic secular-themed play. [6] His love poetry was influenced by Francesco Petrarca, [7] but the Croatian folklore is also included in his work. His admiration towards the feminine figure plays an important role in most of his poems.
He was prone to self-criticism and had most of his work burned; the rest was salvaged and later published by his son Antonij. [4] A collection of his work was published in 1556 (Skladanja). [3]
