    works, as well as in his notes, talks, interviews. The material of greate interest from this point of view had been generated in Armenian language (in 1975-1978). The publication of fragments from this valuable material in translation from Armenian into Russian serves a purpose to put it in the current of Russian literary criticism.

    Abstract

    In Mandelstam’s poem, "When Psyche-life..." some of the traditional mythological images undergo semantic transformations in accordance with the myth-making proclivities of early 20th century Russian literature. We examine the possible cultural and literary sources which have influenced the emergence of nontraditional interpretations of some poetic images. Specifically, we consider the mythopoetic and cultural origins of these reinterpreted images of Psyche, Persephone, the blind swallow, the green branch, and this provides an adequate interpretation of the poetic text.
