Kalevipoeg the Hero

Estonian national hero, giant son of a giant (demigod tier per his superhuman descent and strength). English 'Kalevipoeg the Hero' leads; native Kalevipoeg ('son of Kalev') in term. The epic is a literary synthesis by Kreutzwald, but built on a real substratum of folk legends about the giant Kalevipoeg attested across Estonia.
