Le-eyo
Le-eyo is a primal ancestor in Maasai mythology.〔
〕
==The origin of death==
The Maasai tell a story of how Le-eyo was told by the god Ngai that he must say a prayer when a child dies, to make sure that the child will come back to life. When a child died that was not his own, Le-eyo said a prayer for the child to remain dead but the moon to return. When his own child died, Le-eyo said the prayer properly but it would not work. In Maasai mythology, this is the reason that when men die, they do not return, but when the moon "dies" it returns the next night.〔
