Summary/Abstract: In the paper, the author seeks an analogy and common features of the conception of the point of view of the creator and the pathway of the creator (which both have been presented in his work: Source and Mystery. Towards the Metaphysics of the Creator, 2022), on the one side, and the conceptions drawn from the history of poetry, esthetics and metaphysics, on the other. The analogies and common features are searched in relation to the problem of the creative transformation and the leap towards the source, which both lead to the problem of the depth of the creative being. The considerations are carried out in both poetical and mythical context, which is to say, that of the leap of Odysseus described in Odyssey, as well as in the esthetical and metaphysical contexts connected with Heraclitus’ thought, Symposium of Plato and the esthetical thought of Immanuel Kant. Some conclusions are reached concerning important analogies and common features of the author’s conceptions and those re- garded as belonging to the depth of creative being. First of all, the similarity is meant between the situation of the creator, who performs the creative transformation while permeating the source (in the aforementioned leap also) and the creator in the tragic situation, from which departure towards the depth of creative being is looked for.
