Mythology Weekend - Poludnica
The Poludnica is a mythological creature from Slavic folklore and is present in many East-European folklores. Known as Lady Midday in English, she is the personification of heat stroke and seen only at the hottest point of the day. She is often depicted as a young girl dressed in white that carries a scythe or a sickle. Poludnica would target those working alone at midday with illness, madness, or death, sometimes offering them a chance to save themselves by solving her riddles.
