The research identifies categories of proper names that make up the onomastic space of the discipline. Thus, it is found that the space includes four categories of proper names, including toponyms, anthroponyms, theonyms, ethnonyms and other derivatives of toponyms. In addition, the percentage of proper names and all words in textbooks are presented. It is also found that in the context of the discipline Classical Literature it is possible to talk about such a concept as “onomastic load”, which depends on the total number of lexemes and word usage of proper names in the educational text. The research is carried out in several stages. The first stage consists of computer processing of the text, the second stage is based on the manual processing of the results.
