Elias Lönnrot (9 April 1802 - 19 March 1884) was a Finnish philologist and collector of traditional Finnish oral poetry. He is best known for compiling the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic compiled from national folklore.
The Kalevala is largely based on Finnish folklore and oral tradition, but the author Elias Lönnrot also included some original content and rearranged the stories to create a cohesive narrative. Therefore, while much of the material in the Kalevala is drawn from traditional sources, Lönnrot did use his own imagination to shape the epic poem.
Kalevala was created in 1835.
