PLATE XXX
Lesní Ženka
As in so many mythologies, the wood-nymphs of Slavic belief have both kindly and dangerous qualities, and their love, like that of divine beings generally, is apt to be dangerous to mortals. Originally the Lesní Ženka and similar Slavic minor goddesses may have corresponded to the Lettish forest-goddess Meschamaat. After a picture by N. Aleš. For other idealizations by this artist see Plates XXXIII–XXXVI.
