The article investigates the reception of the ancient heritage in the latest collection of poems by V. Sosnora The Motives of Theognis. The Ennead , the very title of which sets the reader up to perceive the book of one of the main Russian poets-innovators of recent times through the prism of the work of the ancient poet Theognis of Megara. In this regard, the biographical parallels that allow us to compare the two authors are considered as widely as possible. V. Sosnora and Theognis of Megara are brought together by the autobiographical nature of their work. A significant part of the article is devoted to the Theognis Collection , its composition, image system, as well as the perception of the collection by contemporaries and readers, researchers of subsequent periods. For both collections, V. Sosnora and Theognis of Megara, it is important to correlate "personal" and "outside" words, the significance of the addressee. The study also analyzes the ways of complicating the targeting principle in V. Sosnora's poetic cycle. The author also notes the peculiarities of the appeal to the ancient gods, which are characteristic of both the poems of the ancient Greek poet and the Russian poet of the XX-XXI centuries. The motive of the poet's betrayal by a friend is considered as one of the central ones, which is significant for the Theognis collection and, albeit in a transformed form, can be highlighted in the collection of poems by V. Sosnora. Also, the motif of death, realized in the corresponding system of images, is designated as a general one. In addition, the article discusses the points that are fundamentally different in the "Theognis collection" and the collection The Motives of Theognis. The Ennead by V. Sosnora.
