Lemminkäinen is one of the Heroes of the Kalevala. In one myth he drowns in the river of Tuonela (the underworld) in trying to capture/kill the black swan, to win a daughter of Louhi as his wife. In a tale somewhat reminiscent of Isis&#x27; search for Osiris, Lemminkäinen&#x27;s mother searches heaven and earth to find her son. Finally, she learns of his fate and asks Ilmarinen to fashion her a rake of copper with which to dredge her son&#x27;s body from the river of Tuonela.
