In this episode, we continue our Kalevala journey with Runo 11 - Lemminkäinen and Kyllikki! In this Runo we meet the two eponymous characters - Lemminkäinen and Kyllikki - and we explore the dynamics between young men and women and some of the reasons why social interactions between the two are structured the way they are.

The Kalevala is the epic national poem of Finland. Compiled by Elias Lönnrot from folk poetry from throughout Finland, Karelia, Estonia, and what is now northwest Russia, the Kalevala describes the worldview of the Finnish people from ancient times through to the modern day. It includes the adventures of Väinämöinen and Joukahainen, Ilmarinen and Lemminkäinen, from the distant lands of Pohjola, to Kalevala's wide heathlands.
