::''For a Hawaiian noblewoman, see Nuakea, and for her daughter, see Kapau-a-Nuakea.'' In Hawaiian mythology, Nuakea is a beneficent goddess of milk and lactation.〔''Native planters in old Hawaii: their life, lore, and environment'' by Edward Smith Craighill Handy, Elizabeth Green Handy, Mary Kawena Pukui.〕 This name was also a title for a wet nurse of royal prince, according to David Malo.〔''Hawaiian antiquities (Moolelo Hawaii)'' by David Malo〕 Nuakea was appealed to staunch the flow of milk in the mother's breasts. == Euhemerism == There was a chiefess named after the goddess, Nuakea, wife of Keoloewa, ruling chief of island of Molokai. Martha Warren Beckwith suggested that this princess was later deified and turned into a goddess.〔''Hawaiian Mythology'' by Martha Warren Beckwith. (See this page. )〕 According to the myth, Nuʻakea was a goddess who came to Earth and married mortal chief Keoloewaakamauaua, but it is known that historical Nuʻakea was born on Oahu island. 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「Nuakea (deity)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
