Ukko

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In Finnish mythology, Ukko, in Estonian mythology Uku, is a god of sky, weather, crops (harvest) and other natural things. He is the most significant god in Finnish and Estonian mythologies, and created the goddess Ilmatar, creator of the world. The Finnish word ukkonen, thunderstorm, is derived from his name. In the Kalevala he is also called Ylijumala (the high god), as he is the god of things above. Other names for Ukko include Pitk nen (pitk , long), Is inen (is , father), Isoinen (iso, great) and ij . He makes all his appearances in myths solely by natural effects when asked. He is the equivalent of Zeus in the Greek Pantheon, or Thor in the Norse pantheon with properties of Odin. The equivalent of Thor, Tuuri, was seldom encountered in the Finnish pantheon, and relegated only as deity of harvest and success.
