Poppy is a symbol of sleep and death, and blooming is an unprecedented beauty, also a symbol of unfading youth and feminine charm. 

The poppy served as a symbol of fertility because of its great fertility. Therefore, it is a permanent attribute of Hera (Juno), the goddess of fertility and matrimony. The temple and the statue of the goddess of fertility and matrimony - Hera (Juno) on the island of Samos were decorated with poppy heads. The goddess of harvest, Ceres (Demitra), was always depicted with a poppy in her hand. Wreaths were woven from poppy flowers and grain ears, which decorated her statues. Often the goddess herself was called Mekona (from the Greek mecon, makon - poppy).
The ancient Greeks believed that this flower was created by the god of sleep Hypnos for Demeter, when she was so tired in search of her missing daughter Persephone, who was stolen by Hades, the lord of the underworld of the dead, that she could no longer provide for the growth of bread. Then Hypnos gave her a poppy to fall asleep and rest.

Persephone was sometimes depicted with a poppy - she was represented wrapped in garlands of poppy flowers - as a symbol of peace descending to earth at this time.
According to an ancient Roman legend, he grew out of the tears of Venus, which she shed after learning about the death of the beautiful young man Adonis.

According to Buddhist legend, the poppy grew on the ground, which was touched by the eyelashes of the sleeping Buddha.
The poppy is called a "blind blow", because the bright red color of the poppy is blinding, and a "weak head", because the smell of its flowers causes a headache. This flower is an attribute of Hypnos. He was depicted as a reclining or sitting young man or an angel with lowered wings, carrying poppy heads in his hands, sometimes with a wreath of poppy heads on his head.

The poppy was an attribute of the god of death - Thanatos, so he was depicted as a young man with a wreath of poppy, but with black wings, in a black robe and extinguishing an overturned burning torch. Morpheus' dream realm was planted with poppies.
