Project Gutenberg 2019-11-11 Public domain in the USA. 107 Gottlund, C. A. (Carl Axel) 1796 1875 Gottlund, Carl Axel Gottlund, Kaarle Aksel Den finska Sampo-myten Jari Koivisto "Den finska Sampo-myten" by C. A. Gottlund is a comprehensive exploration of Finnish mythology written in the late 19th century. The text delves into the enigmatic Sampo myth—an essential element of Finnish folklore—and aims to clarify its origins and interpretations, particularly through the lens of various scholarly discussions and myths surrounding it. At the start of this work, the author discusses his motivations for writing, sparked by a recent reading of a paper by Dr. Donner on the Sampo myth. He reflects on the numerous interpretations and scholarly debates surrounding the Sampo, humorously noting the absurdity of some explanations while asserting the need for a clearer understanding. He grapples with the implications of the myth itself, suggesting that the essence of the Sampo signifies more than mere folklore but embodies profound philosophical reflections on humanity’s comprehension of its existence, nature, and destiny. The opening establishes Gottlund's aim to shed light on the Sampo myth, acknowledging the complexities entwined within myths themselves and their relation to cultural identity.
