Abstract

In the vocabulary of every language there are layers, which penetrated into the language during different epochs. They can be long-lived or short-lived depending on their stability. Based on the political, cultural, and educational level of the period, such linguistic units acquire new shades of meaning, sometimes new intonations. As far as Byron is concerned, it should be noted, that in his works, especially in the poem “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage” mythologems are used widely. Basically, they refer to the Greco-Roman events. There are also mythologems of Biblical-Christian character. These mythologems express the real character of life of that time and exert a considerable influence on the language, culture, and the social life. The availability and abundance of mythologems in the poetry of Byron is ex-plained by the fact, that myths don’t belong to a definite period of time, they embrace quite a wide period of time and, naturally, they find their manifestation in the works of various authors, various times and countries. Of course, Byron couldn’t be an exception. One can surely state, that the mythologems from Greco-Roman origin are stable or free word combinations, which acquire new meanings in Byron’s poetry, very often as metaphors, metonymies, epithets, oxymorons, and so on, which in their turn contribute to the formation of phraseological units.
