This paper analyses depiction of mythology in novel Mythago Wood written by British fantasy author Robert Holdstock. It points out the fact that author consciously worked with the theory of archetypes and myth structures elaborated by Carl Gustav Jung. Simultaneously, it takes into account cultural background of the story as well as it analyses symbols used in the novel. The paper also defines three levels of the story: familial, meta-mythological and metaphoric and examines use of archetypes and symbols on each of the levels. The results of this analysis are afterwards compared and analysed for similarities and differences, as well as for level of connection with non-fictional mythology of British cultural area. The paper also points out universality and great variability of use of archetypes and symbols in mythologies outside British Isles.
