Legend of Maui, a demigod of Polynesia: XI. The Maui seeks immortality

BUT MAUI SEEKS IMMORTALITY." New Zealand Dragon Summoning. Maui' s history, which seeks to make humanity immortal, is one of the most beautiful by now. Grecian and Romans tales depicted the suffering of deities for other deities, yet none of them were encircled by such mythic events as the one through which the demigod Maui of the Pacific Ocean walked as he stepped into the doors of the dead in the hopes of gaining mortality for humanity.

Maui' s truly notable group of stories is well rounded off by the history of his selfless and epic struggle against capital. There' s no escaping the dead. New Zealand indigenous people say: "Man makes a hero, but it' s borne away by dying. "There are few Polynesian legend of the demise of Maui.

These are usually fragmented, except for the Maoris of New Zealand. Hawaii' legends of Maui's demise say that he has insulted some of the larger deities in the Waipio Valley on the island of Hawaii. Hawaiians in another myth say that Maui hunted a young man and a young woman in the Honolii Gorge in Hawaii.

And Maui turned into an eel and reached along the tribe. and Maui couldn't get a hold of the little Maui. There was a clergyman who came and beat the whale and slaughtered it, and Maui went and dyled. Obviously this is a different shape of the Maui and the long spur.

A further Hwaiian piece draws closer to the New Zealand legend. Hawaiians said Maui was trying to rip a hill apart. It would not be surprising if Maui's demise did not open the way through the hill.

Hervey Island says that after Maui caught the island, his hooks were cast into the skies and became the arched tails of the star formation we know as "The Scorpion". "Then they became furious at Maui and cast him into heaven, and his bodies shall still hang under the Scorpio's belly.

Turner said the Samoans said Maui went to fish and tried to capture the country under the oceans and drag it to the sea. Eventually an isle came, but the humans who lived on it were furious with Maui and forced him to heaven. This is how the Samoans explain the origins of two of their isles and also the death of Maui from Maui.

New Zealand's locals have many legends about the demise of Maui. And in Maui's last few daughters, he craved to win over the dead. He was born to the passion for humanity, which enabled him to escape the inexorable foe of humanity and to overcome it, thus giving his fellows the blessing of doomlessness.

"Maui, furious at this still figure, took him and broken his ankles, knees and hips and then tore the net off her and her limbs. Not surprisingly, Maui felt self-confident when he regarded the fight for eternity as a present to the world.

White, who has gathered many of New Zealand's legendary stories and tales, says that after Maui Mahu-ika, his grandma, the fire queen and keeper in the underworld, tried to educate his dad and mom to act differently. "but rejoice in yourself and stay alive and dead.

" answered Maui: "Maui asked: "The reply was that one of his forefathers, Hine-nui-te-po (Great Halloween of the Night), the keeper of live, would overpower him. As Maui was fishing out of the ocean, it was said that he had settled on the far end of one of the most remote islets.

In the last few westerly moments of his career, Maui was like: "I can't believe it. "and find out if there will be consequences of living or dying. "And he said: "Then Maui said: "Will it be from Hine-nui-te-po? A legend of New Zealand says that Maui and his brethren went westward to the brink of the skyline where they saw the Lady of the Nights.

And Maui came into the mine and told his brethren not to smile. Laughing, the brethren and the wall of the dark shut itself around him and kept him until he passed away. This longer story recounts how Maui recalled his clash with the moons after talking to his sire. But he was forced to swim in the water of a lifetime and to come back overnight so that people would not be in the dark when the evenings came.

said Maui to the lunar goddess: "Leave the dead for a moment. "Maui did not put his end to his cause, but according to New Zealand history "he did not want people to perish, but to survive forever. It seemed humiliating and an affront to humanity. "Maui was looking for the home of Hine-nui-te-po, the Keeper of the World.

Crawling past his companions, he found the place of live, took some of the goddess's nourishment and came home. Then he showed his brethren the meal and convinced them to go with him into the dark of the nocturnum. They came to the goddess's home on the isle long before they came out of the sea.

While Maui was making the biggest trouble of his whole lifetime, he alerted the bird not to make any noises. "You' re going to get yourself murdered. "Maui answered: "I will be slain if you smile at me, if I have only penetrated her belly, but if I have gone through her and come out of her lips, I will flee and Hine-nui-te-po will surely perish.

And Maui came close to the dormant deity. So he took off his clothes and was preparing to go through torture, to go to the secret fountain of existence, to take them out of his guardian's corpse and to bring them with him to humanity. Jumping through the magical mouths, he stepped into her belly, gun in the ribbon to take out her ticker, the living system he knew was at home somewhere in her being.

On the other side of the dead, he found eternity. Turning back to live, a small pata-tai (bird) was laughing in a clear, screaming sound and the Great Hine, through whose lips Maui walked, awakened. She took a snapshot of Maui and cut his central part.

Maui thus stepped into the doors of the dead, but could not come back, and since then, the dead is the winner over people who rebel. "Had Maui not perished, he could have brought back to live all those who had gone before him and thus destroyed their deaths. Maui' s woman waged battle against the ghosts, the deities, and murdered as many as she could to revenge her husband' s deaths.

An old local New Zealand poet singing the tale to Mr. White said: "His descendants lived, though Maui was murdered. Several of them are in Hawa-i-i-i and some in Aotearoa (New Zealand), but most of them stayed in Hawa-i-ki. "However, there is nothing new about dying, it is and has been since the time of old Maui's deaths.
