Hawaiian narrative or mythology, tells stories of nature and life. It is considered a variant of a more general Polynesian narrative, developing its own unique character for several centuries before about 1800. It is associated with the Hawaiian religion. The religion was officially suppressed in the 19th century, but kept alive by some practitioners to the modern day. ==Prominent figures and terms in Hawaiian mythology== * Aumakua - spirit of an ancestor or family god * ‘Elepaio - monarch flycatcher * Haikili - god of thunder * Haumea - goddess of birth * Hiʻiaka - goddess of ''hula'' and daughter of Haumea * Hina - goddess of Moon * Kaha'i * Kahōālii - god of underworld * Kalamainuu - lizard goddess * Kamapuaa * Kāmohoalii - shark god * Kanaloa - complementary power of Kāne * Kāne - highest of the four major Hawaiian deities * Kāne-milo-hai or Kāne-hekili * Kapo * ''Kapu'' - the ancient code of conduct of laws and regulations * Kapua * Kaulu - killer of Haumea * Kinilau * Iao * Kū - god of war * Kumulipo - ancient chant of creation * Laka - culture hero, son of Wahieloa * Lono - god of agriculture * Lona - Moon goddess * Mana - impersonal force * Kuula, fish deity * Māui - ancient hero and chief * Menehune * Nāmaka - sea goddess and sister of Pele *Nuakea - goddess of milk * Nightmarchers * Nuu - Hawaiian Noah * Paʻao * Pakaa - god of the wind * Paliuli * Poliʻahu - goddesses of snow * Papahānaumoku * Pele - goddess of wind, lightning and volcanoes * Ukupanipo - another shark god * Wahieloa * Wākea - Sky father 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「Hawaiian narrative」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
