San Martin Txiki


San Martin Txiki is the Trickster figure from Basque mythology. "Txiki" means "little" in an affectionate sense. San Martin is often called simply "Martintxiki" or "Samartitxiki". He stole the secrets of planting, sowing, and harvesting from the Basajaunak. He also invented the first saws, modeling them after the edges of the chestnut leaf.
San Martin Txiki also exists in Aragonese mythology in the valleys of Tena, Ansó and Broto under the name San Martinico.
