Summary/Abstract: The paper investigates position of myth in Rastko Petrovic’s avangardic work and the presence of its permeation. Similarities are obvious, but there is also the presence of difference and reshaping of mythical motives in Burleska. The main analysed motive is the one of horse and horseridder taken from Indoeuropean culture and modified through Slav tradition, more precisely through Serbian culture. This motive divides into two possible options – chthonic and solar principle, depending on the presence of colour. This change of colour and principle occurs within one religion but in accordance to transition from paganism to Christianity, as well.
