Note 9 — THE ADVENTURES OF THE SON OF KALEV, THE HERO OF ESTHONIA.

Reading edition

In the Finnish Kalevala, Väinämöinen is represented as a culture-hero, and as the father of his people; in Esthonia Vanemuine is usually a demi-god. He is always the inventor and patron of music and the harp. He plays no part in the Kalevipoeg, where his name is only mentioned once or twice.
