Louhi captured the sun and moon and brought them to her home.(Runo XLVII · The Robbery of the Sun and Moon · Part 1 · 📍 Pohja)
- With: Louhi Moon
- “Louhi, Pohjola's old Mistress, Old and gap-toothed dame of Pohja, Set to work the sun to capture, In her hands the moon seized likewise. From the birch the moon she captured, And the sun from fir-tree's summit; Straightway to her home she brought them, To the gloomy land of Pohja.”
Louhi hid the moon in rocks and the sun in a mountain, declaring they would remain imprisoned until she released them.(Runo XLVII · The Robbery of the Sun and Moon · Part 1 · 📍 Pohjola)
- With: Louhi Moon
- “Then she hid the moon from shining, In the mottled rocks she hid him, Sang the sun to shine no longer, Hidden in a steel-hard mountain; And she spoke the words which follow: ‘Never more again in freedom Shall the moon arise for shining, Nor the sun be free for shining, If I come not to release them, If I do not go to fetch them, When I bring nine stallions with me, Which a single mare has littered.’”
