Nowe Ateny (New Athens) is the abbreviated title of the first Polish-language encyclopedia, authored by the 18th century Polish priest Benedykt Joachim Chmielowski.

Nowe Ateny is the source of a few memorable and amusing “definitions”, often quoted in Poland to this day:

Horse: Everyone knows what a horse is.

Goats are a stinking kind of animal.

Dragon is hard to overcome, yet one shall try”
