The Giant Pike http://kokoelmat.fng.fi/app?si=A+III+2151
Väinämöinen, Ilmarinen, and Lemminkäinen boarded a boat and row to Pohjola to restore their share of the Sampo. Suddenly, the boat stopped moving. It was stuck on a giant pike which Väinämöinen then sliced in two with his sword. The tail-end of the pike sank in the sea, but Väinämöinen caught its large head in the boat. He took the head to the shore and used its jawbones and teeth to make a harp. He used the tail of Lempo’s stallion as the strings. The finished harp had an immensely beautiful sound, but only when played by Väinämöinen.

Kullervo Cursing http://kokoelmat.fng.fi/app?si=A+II+765
Consider the weather in the work. Can you find similarities between the weather and Kullervo’s state of mind? This work by Gallen-Kallela depicts an angry Kullervo after Ilmarinen’s wife baked a stone in his bread. The work depicts the moment when Kullervo is overcome by rage and decides to have revenge. How is the anger and rage shown in the work, and in Kullervo’s posture? What kinds of issues provoke the need for revenge? According to the Kalevala, Kullervo destroyed his herd and replaced it with wolves and bears, which he set on Ilmarinen’s wife in order to kill her.
