Aino Myth, Triptych, by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, 1891

Väinämöinen is the central character in Finnish national epic Kalevala. Old and wise, possessing magical powers, he thought it was appropriate to marry a girl that could be his granddaughter.

The story does not end well... or does it?

Had to go look..

Story of Ilmarinen, a Hephaestus-type god, and Sampo, the magical artifact he created, is for me the most fascinating one in Kalevala. But I as an architect am maybe biased there.

I will share more on his story in the future in this channel.
