** Kalevala by Elias Lönnrot ( 1849 Finnish mythology )

The Kalevala () is a 19th-century work of epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Finnish and Karelian oral folklore and mythology.

Elias Lönnrot ( 9 April 1802 – 19 March 1884 ) was a physician, botanist and linguist.

Prior to the publication of The Kalevala, Elias Lönnrot compiled several related works including the three-part Kantele ( 1829 – 1831 ) the Old Kalevala ( 1835 ) and the Kanteletar ( 1840 ).

These works were an inspiration for Elias Lönnrot in creating his masters thesis at Turku University.
