Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of interaction of ophite and thantological motifs in the Brusov’s novel “The Altar of Victory”, which focus on the figure of Rea, who was at the head of one of the gnostic sects existing in Rome at the end of the IV century and rebelled against the Roman Emperor together with the ophites.
