  •  Qian Wu    

Abstract

Andrej Belyj, a symbolist writer, conveys profound ideas and concepts of mythology through his own creation by borrowing a large number of plots and characters from myths or creating new mysterious stories, all based on his mythical thinking and the structure of myths he has employed in his creation. This paper takes the writer’s masterpiece, Petersburg, as an example to explore deeply his viewpoints of mythology.
