Harri-Pekka Pietikäinen: The Mythical Significance of Pike for Finns

The lecture explores pike mythology and its significance for Finns. Through myths and folk traditions, the talk also examines pike biology and the species' ecological role - as well as what pike means for the sustainability of Finland's waterways today.

The lecture is based on Harri-Pekka Pietikäinen's new book Myyttinen hauki - Järvien saalistajan tarina ja perintö (Bazar 2026).

The event lasts one hour and includes the lecture plus an opportunity for discussion.
