LEGENDS FROM POLAND #5: THE LEGEND OF THE QUEEN OF THE BALTIC

Long, long ago, the Baltic Sea was ruled by Jurata, a beautiful queen.She had long golden hair and sea green eyes. Her loveliness caused Perkun, the fierce God of thunder and lightning, to fall in love with her. He would not let his storms disturb the waters of her kingdom.Jurata was a kind queen. She established laws to protect her seacreatures. One law did not allow anyone to set traps that caught toomany fish at one time. Though Jurata liked to eat flounder and had it served at the palace, she ordered her servants to keep only half ofeach fish and to throw the other half back to the sea. These fish-halves stayed alive because of her magical powers.On the Baltic Coast lived a bold, free spirited young fisherman who hadvery little common sense. He knew about Queen Jurata's law, but disobeyed it. He set many traps and caught many, many fish which hesold to people who lived far from the sea. He spent most of his moneyon fine clothes. The Queen found out about this fisherman and was very angry withhim. Her plan was to swim close to the shore, get the fisherman to goin the water and drown him. Instead, when she saw him in his beautifulclothes, she fell in love with him as he did with her. Every night shewould swim to the shore and see her new sweetheart. Jurata herself had broken a law. The gods said that magical beingscould love only magical beings. Perkun got very very mad about this.He went into a rage and with thunderbolts destroyed the amber-colored palace while the Queen was inside and chained the young fisherman tothe bottom of the sea. They were never seen again. The fisherman cansometimes be heard calling for his love. The only things that remain from Jurata's palace are pieces of amber that sometimes wash up onthe beaches of the Baltic Sea.
