It's ooga booga Melanesia tier shit stolen from the Estonians ad then marinated in the in swamps of Finland that only Finnish nationalists masturbate to. Nigger tribes, like the Dogon, have more interesting narrative structures and metaphysical surprises in their myths that something so fucking obviously stolen from the Odyssey by Estonian/Finnish romantic era nationalists that wanted to have as deep a heritage as the Greek, Italian, British, French.
The fact the language it's written in - Finnish/Estonia - sounds like the most homosexual tongue in existence, created by the archons specifically for faggots with a lisp, makes the experience of reading this eight rate copy of the Odyssey even more tedious.

I just started reading it the other day. It's enjoyable so far. I've been trying and failing to find a good recording of someone reading it aloud in Finnish to get an ear for the famous 5 beat pulse of Kalevala poetry, if anyone has one I'd be very appreciative.

Just finished reading this canto, checked the thread and here it was! Thank you so much anon, all the readings I was finding were far more prosaic. You can really hear the five beat rhythm to it, sounds totally natural.
