Finnish flood myth

Part of Finnish folk poetry

The Finnish flood myth is recorded in the Kalevala rune entitled Haava. Väinämöinen attempts a heroic feat that results in a gushing wound, the blood from which covers the entire Earth. This deluge is not emphasized in the Kalevala version redacted by Elias Lönnrot, but the global quality of the flood is evident in original variants of the rune. In one variant collected in Northern Ostrobothnia in 1803/04, the rune tells:The blood came forth like a flood the gore ran like a river: there was no hummock and no high mountain that was not flooded all from Väinämöinen's toe from the holy hero's knee.
