Väinämöinen ja Aino





As I told you some posts ago, Joukahainen, an evil youth, challenges Vainamoinen to a singing contest.

His sister Aino, who is offered in marriage to Vainamoinen, drowns herself rather than wed the aged hero.


Kalevala is an amazing poem and all the characters are oustanding heroes of the finnish and scandinavian mythology.


More to come (:
