| Summary | "Kalevala" by Elias Lönnrot is a collection of epic poetry written in the early 19th century. The work compiles Finnish myths, legends, and folklore, focusing on characters like Lemminkäinen and Ilmarinen as they embark on quests and face the trials of life and death in the mythical land of Pohjola. This foundational text of Finnish literature delves into themes of heroism, nature, and the supernatural. The opening of "Kalevala" introduces Lemminkäinen, who feels slighted for not being invited to a feast in Pohjola. Despite his mother’s warnings about the dangers he may face on his journey, Lemminkäinen resolves to attend the festivities and demonstrates a bold, independent spirit. Throughout this portion, we witness his interactions with his mother, who expresses concern for his safety and tries to dissuade him from leaving. The epic captures Lemminkäinen's bravado as he prepares for the journey, facing potential threats but remaining undeterred in his quest for adventure and recognition.
