Abstract
The article discusses the problem of the genre nature of G. G. Byron’s biblical drama “Cain”. Mystery is considered as an ontological genre whose logic requires an extremely generalized model of the universe thereby endowing mystery with a myth-creating potential. It is shown that Byron’s genre attribution of “Cain” is right, because the poet modified the mystery genre taking into account requirements of the modern epoch. The conclusion is made that Byron, having brought together biblical and natural scientific models of the universe, created his own romantic myth that represents dualistic worldview of that time.
