In Hawaiian mythology, ʻAikanaka (or ʻAi Kanaka, ʻAikane) is a mortal chief who married Lona, the moon goddess. They lived happily together in her palace until he died of old age.〔''Pacific mythology: an encyclopedia of myth and legend'' by Jan Knappert〕〔''Academic Dictionary Of Mythology'' by Ramesh Chopra〕 His name means "man eater". ʻAikanaka also married Hinahanaiakamalama (according to the Ulu genealogy). She bore him sons Hemā and Puna.〔E.R. Tregear, Maori-Polynesian Comparative Dictionary (Lyon and Blair: Lambton Quay), 1891.〕 Both Lona and Hinahanaiakamalama are lunar goddesses, so it is likely that they are the same person, and ʻAikanaka is married to just one woman.〔Beckwith, pp. 214-25〕 According to Ulu genealogy, ʻAikanaka was born ca. 746. == Notes == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aikanaka (mythology)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
