Nine diseases
In Finnish mythology, the Nine diseases are the sons of Loviatar, the blind daughter of Tuoni. She is impregnated by wind (some versions of the story tell that Iku-Turso fathered them). According to the version told in the Kalevala they are ''Pistos'' (consumption), ''Ähky'' (colic), ''Luuvalo'' (gout), ''Riisi'' (rickets), ''Paise'' (ulcer), ''Rupi'' (scab), ''Syöjä'' (cancer), and ''Rutto'' (plague). The ninth, a witch and the worst of all, remains unnamed. He, the personification of envy, is banished by his mother to become the scourge of mankind. Other rune versions mention nine diseases by name the witch being the tenth son. Some of them also use more esoteric names such as ''Nuolennoutaja'' (Retriever of arrow), ''Painaja'' (Strainer or nightmare), ''Kielen kantaja'' (Carrier of tongue), ''Ohimoiden ottaja'' (Taker of temples), and ''Sydämen syöjä'' (Eater of heart), which can as well be interpreted as names of diseases.〔Suomalainen mytologia. By Martti Haavio. Published in 1967.〕 Louhi, the Mistress of North who acts as a midwife to the sons, sends them to Kaleva where they are defeated by Väinämöinen.
