Question
In this work, a salmon swallows a pike, who swallowed a whitefish, who swallowed a spark of fire dropped by Ukko. It’s not in Welsh, but the Elvish language of Quenya was inspired by a reading of this work by J.R.R. Tolkien, who wrote about the tragedy of its character Kullervo. This work is often told to the music of a kantele (“KON-teh-leh”) and was compiled from a series of expeditions around Kola and Karelia. The blacksmith Illmarinen in this work creates a mill-like artifact called the Sampo.
