The Dismissal of the Greek Envoys[1]: 68 (title also rendered as The Dismissal of the Grecian Envoys,[2]The Discharge of the Greek Envoys,[3] and The Envoys[4]; Polish: Odprawa posłów greckich) is a tragedy written by Polish Renaissance poet Jan Kochanowski ca. 1565-66 and first published and performed in 1578.
It recounts an incident leading up to the Trojan War, inspired by the writings of Homer. It is widely recognized as one of Kochanowski's finest works, and one of the most significant early plays written in Polish.
