Abstract

The article analyses the poetry of Ukrainian writers Yuriy Andrukhovych, Oleksandr Irvanets and Viktor Neborak using the mythopoetic methodology. The archetypal image of the moon and the specifics of its development in the poetic works of artists are considered in detail. The relationship of the mythology of the moon with traditional Slavic beliefs and ideas and the influence of world cultural heritage on its artistic realization are established. The works of these artists contain elements of the collective unconscious, consisting in the use of individual images in line with the ancient world-view, which can be decoded only at the subtext level. The meaning of this symbol for creating an artistic world-view is determined. Views of Yurii Andrukhovych, Oleksandr Irvanets and Viktor Neborak are studied on the world structure are studied through the decoding of the author's intentions in the interpretation of the archetypal image of the moon. The author's individual mythopoeia based on the astral image in the lyrics of the literary performance group Bu-Ba-Bu is studied.
