In this article, which is a fragment of the PhD dissertation just completed, I have analyzed the motif of Dionysos in Vyacheslav Ivanov's book Po Zvezdam. In the first years after Ivanov's return into Russia from abroad, that is approximately from 1905 to 1909, this motif was one of the innermost parts of his message to the Russian readership. Although in the essay Nietzsche i Dionis Ivanov declares that he accepts the Nietzsche's interpretation of Dionysos, step by step he fills the motif with a different content, reinterpreting it in the light of his own ideas. “Dionysos of Ivanov” comprises a group of various ideas, which I expounded systematically in the beginning of the present article. These religious and philosophical ideas are parts of a coherent system, having its own ontology, anthropology and epistemology. As the earlier draft O mnogobožii testifies, the same ideas, without any significant changes, existed in the thought of Ivanov from, at least, 1901 or 1902. Their development could be traced in the author's writings of different genres: in his study Ellinskaja religija stradajušcego boga, poetry, and essays. A specific feature of the book Po Zvezdam is that the Dionysian complex of ideas is expressed in two parallel lines of motifs—in mythological and Christian line. Both lines are equally intended to represent Ivanov's religious-philosophical ideas, although sometimes these ideas appear in the book developed directly in philosophical terms. One can say that Ivanov expresses his Dionysian world-view parallelly in three languages, or three different sets of terms: mythological, Christian, and philosophical. I established also the priority of the underlying system of religious-philosophical ideas over the motif structure of the book Po Zvezdam.
