Malina
Malina is a
solar deity in
Inuit mythology. She is found most commonly in the legends of
Greenland. Legends about Malina link her closely with the
lunar deity Anningan, her brother. Malina is constantly fleeing from Annigan as the result of strife between the two (legends vary as to the cause). Their constant chase is the traditional explanation for the movement of the sun and moon through the sky.
