Joukahainen lännittää tulisen nuolen





Joukahainen is another character in the Kalevala.

He is the rival of the main character, Väinämöinen.



After losing a singing contest, he pledges his sister Aino to Väinämöinen, but she drowns herself rather than marry him, this is the main reason Joukahainen became angry and envious of Väinämöinen.

He shoots the rival and plunge him into the waters of Pohjola.
