Eesti rahvuskangelase Kalevipoja müütiline isa lendas kord põhjakotka seljas Viru randa, kuhu ta rajas riigi ning sai selle esimeseks valitsejaks. Nainud kauni Linda, valitsesid nad kaua ja õnnelikult seda maad. Pärast Kalevi surma sündis Lindale viimane poeg – igati isa vääriline Kalevipoeg. Lesk kaevas mehele haua ning kandis selle peale hulga suuri kive, et see tulevastele põlvedelegi näha oleks – nii tekkis Toompea mägi.
Once upon a time, the giant Kalev, the father of the Estonian national hero, soared to the coast of ancient Estonia on the back of a majestic North Eagle. Here he founded a kingdom and became its first ruler. He wed the beautiful Linda and together they governed the realm through a lengthy period of happiness. After Kalev’s passing Linda gave birth to their last son, worthy of his father’s name – Kalevipoeg (the Son of Kalev). The widowed Linda prepared a burial site for her husband and brought giant boulders to mark its location for generations to come. This is how the hill of Toompea was created.
