What this means

Parentage as a named source tells it. Not an independently established biological relationship, and different accounts disagree.

Does not imply an independently established biological relationship · agreement between accounts · marriage as a legal institution · exclusivity, or a single canonical pairing

Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.

Later works

Later works that name Tapio

Written in 1500 CE or later, and not religious texts: works that retell or borrow the figure, not accounts of it.

What this means

Sorted out of the accounts by each work’s own recorded date on the source clock, and by its record not marking it as a religious text: the split is worked out here, not stated by any source. A religious text of any date stays among the accounts. None of these supplies the earliest account.
