Rangi
In
Polynesian mythology (specifically:
Maori),
Rangi is the
sky father, wife of the
Earth Mother,
Papa. They had many children, but their embrace (as the Earth and the sky) threatened to crush
plants, trees and their offspring, so the other gods (or just
Tangaroa) separated them and light first appeared between them.
Fog is said to be the sighs of loneliness of Papa, while the
dew is the tears of Rangi.
Their children include: Haumea, Ruau-Moko, Pere, Paikea, Rongo, Rehua, Tane, Tangaroa, Tawhiri and Tu.
Alternative: Raki (Nghaitahu), Hanui-o-Rangi ("father of winds")
