Antique topics in modern Ukrainian poetry

Abstract

The analysis of modern Ukrainian poetry in terms of reception and functioning of antique themes in it gives reason to believe that this stage of Ukrainian antiquity has a tendency for symbiosis of high modernism traditions (including such interpretational models as neoclassical, symbolist, neo-romantic) and postmodern reading of classic heritage. Thus, a new model formed, in which all modes of impersonation of the myth in art are expressed – mythologization, remythologization, demythologization and author's myth.
