Marjatta
Finnish · mortal · kalevala mythic prehistoric · Recorded classification
THE CORPUS HELD THE CAST OF FORTY-NINE CANTOS AND NOT THE PERSON THE FIFTIETH IS ABOUT. The record does not identify her with the Virgin Mary. The parallel — the chastity, the stable, the child who is a king — is what the canto is built on and is stated as a parallel drawn by the poem, which is a different claim from an identity between two figures.
