Summary/Abstract: The paper considers the features of interaction between philosophical and literary reminiscences in one of neomythological texts – F. Sologub’s book of poems “The Fiery Circle”. It is argued that the philosophical ideas of Heraclitus are often expressed indirectly in F. Sologub’s book of poems, through the mythologization of A. Pushkin’s leitmotif tropes with the semantics of fire, burning, as well as through the explication of their hidden meaning. The parallels between Heraclitus’ doctrine and the Greek mysteries drawn by the philosophers of the 19th century are reflected in the mysterial aspect of Sologub’s “fiery” images connected with the symbolist concept of magic art, thereby creating a new artistic reality as an analogue of the universe structure.
