Summary/Abstract: The first Hungarian translation of Kalevala was the achievement of Ferdinánd Barna in 1871. This was followed by the translations of Béla Vikár (1909), Kálmán Nagy (1972), István Rácz (1976) and Imre Szente (1987). The study is dealing with the comparative analysis of the last three Hungarian Kalevala translations.
