![]() We Finns have The Kalevala. It's a national epoch in the Iliad & Odyssey style and can be compared even to the Bible in many ways. It describes the birth of the world, the Finnish myths, and many heroic tales.
We also have our own folklore with gods, demigods, magic, occult and so on. The English version of Kalevala can be found from http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/kveng/ , and there's an ugly but informative website about the ancient myths at http://www.finnishmyth.org/ </div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE ("The Ancient Finnish Myths Database")</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>"Finns have the power of darkness, Finns are wizards" This was the cry of the Viking warriors who feared nothing... nothing but the power of the Finns in their dark forests.[/b][/quote] :Titan:
