Beschreibung
The rich and fascinating myths of Polynesia are all the more extraordinary for the fact that they have survived thousands of years - and miles - of voyages. Scattered across the pacific, the Polynesian islands were populated over generations, as waves of people emigrated from on island to the next, leaping into the unknown with each journey. With each migration, their stories travelled with them. Figures such as the goddess Hina and Maui, the trickster demi-god, are a unifying thread in the sprawling oral history of the Polynesian people. Yet these stories also highlight the rich diversity among these island nations, with each developing its own distance culture and oral tradition.
