Figure Celtic, Slavic and Baltic

Likho

Embodiment of evil and misfortune in Slavic myths

A life on the record,
dated by its sources.

Roles, not beliefs

Overview

From Wikipedia, quoted unmodified under CC BY-SA 4.0; the article’s history is its list of authors.

Later works

Later works that name Likho

Written in 1500 CE or later, and not religious texts: works that retell or borrow the figure, not sources for the life.

What this means

Sorted out of the texts by each work’s own recorded date on the source clock, and by its record not marking it as a religious text: the split is worked out here, not stated by any source. A religious text of any date stays among the texts.
