Likho is an embodiment of evil, fate and misfortune in Slavic mythology, a creature with one eye, often depicted as an old, skinny woman in black or as an evil male goblin of forests. Rather than being included in the major canon of the Slavic belief system, the Likho is traditionally found in skazky, or tales of fantasy and adventure equivalent to Western fairy tales. There are several basic versions of tales how a person meets with Likho, with different morals of the tale: A person eventually cheats Likho as in the Odyssey. Likho is received or passed to another person with a gift.
