ture-hero Vaeinaemoeinen; proceeds with
Vaeinaemoeinen's unsuccessful wooing of the Lapp girl Aino; and the
rest of the poem is mainly occupied with the negotiations and wars
of the three heroes, Vaeinaemoeinen, Ilmarinen, and Lemminkainen, with
Louhi, the witch-queen of Lapland. The adventures of Kullervo, the
morose and wicked slave, who corresponds to the Kalevipoeg in so
many particulars, that he was certainly originally the same
character, form a long episode, extending from Runos 31-35
inclusive. The last Runo contains a strange confused story of the
Nativity, and ends with the consequent departure of Vaeinaemoeinen from
Finland. Many episodes and parallels of the "Kalevala" reappear in
the "Kalevipoeg," i. xi., xviii., xxi., xxx., 1, 7, 8, 10, 33 note,
