Editing Peko (section)

==Modern appearances==
Seto folksinger [[Anne Vabarna]] has created the epic "Songs of Peko" where Peko is depicted as a Seto hero. Peko is [[King asleep in mountain|in eternal sleep]] in the cave. When someone calls his name, he brings the rain to the fields. If people of his kin remember his advice and work hard, Peko sends them abundant crops. Peko is praised as a warrior who frees the country, as a hunter who gives bear skins to villagers and as a host of wedding feasts. He ploughs the field with a wooden plough and protects the people against evil spirits who make people to drink too much. Pekos' spirit can also fly around as a butterfly.

The supposed grave of Peko is under an old oak tree near the [[Pskovo-Pechersky Monastery]].

He also appears in the name of a song by [[Korpiklaani]], a Finnish [[folk metal]] group. The song is called "Pellonpekko" and appears in their album ''[[Spirit of the Forest]]''.
