The article examines the problem of academic description of winged words and catch phrases within the scope of the thesaurus approach. The author briefly presents L. P. Diadechko’s conception of the term “eptonym”. This gives an opportunity to fortify some conclusions about the specific character of this type of cultural constants. The author traces the fate of a loose Russian translation of the well-known cry of King Richard III “A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!” (V, 4) in the eponymous historical play by W. Shakespeare. The article presents extracts from literary works written in the 19th–21st centuries as well as from lyrics of two songs where the translation attributed to the Russian actor Ya. G. Brianskiy can be found. Its influence on other translators is analyzed. In the author’s opinion, the inaccuracy of the rendition of Shakespeare’s original (literally “A horse! a horse! A half of kingdom for a horse!”) has contributed to the diffusion of this eptonym in Russian cultural thesaurus. This example also shows that in contrast to aphorisms and maxims winged words (eptonyms) can have different meanings in various contexts as well as they can be verbally transformed. The main points of the article were presented at the 2nd Academic Readings in the memory of Vladimir Andreyevich Lukov “Thesauri and Thesaurus Sphere” (Moscow University for the Humanities, March 29, 2017).
