About this event
An hour on the pike in Finnish mythology: why a freshwater predator carries so much weight in the folklore, from the Kalevala onwards. Free, at Oodi, early evening. Specific enough to be interesting and broad enough to follow without knowing anything about Finnish folk belief beforehand.
Why we picked it
Free folklore lecture in the central library, on a subject with no English-language equivalent.
Free entry
