Kalevala, Rune XL: riassunto

Cosa succede

1. Lemminkainen calls on supernatural helpers, and Wainamoinen steers the vessel safely through dangerous rapids before a giant pike stops it.
2. Lemminkainen falls into the water and Ilmarinen breaks his sword, but Wainamoinen kills the pike and frees the boat.
3. The company cooks and eats the fish, and Wainamoinen sees a possible instrument in its remaining bones.
4. Despite Ilmarinen’s doubts, Wainamoinen makes a harp using the pike’s jaws and teeth and hair from Lempo’s stallion.
5. Players among Wainamoinen’s company and in Pohyola produce only harsh sounds, prompting a blind man to complain.
6. The harp declares that it can play for its maker, and the company brings it to Wainamoinen’s feet.

Cosa notare

The instrument distinguishes its maker from the unsuccessful players. Its speech prompts its return to Wainamoinen, but he does not play it within this unit.
