Hinenuitepo
Hine-nui-te-pō is the Māori Goddess of Death, inhabitant of the underworld where only the dead dwell. She welcomes all who come down from the upper world. One day Maui, the mythic god-hero, tried to get inside her giant body through her vulva and kill her while she was sleeping, so he could become immortal. But the laughter of a fantail woke her up and she crushed him by closing her legs. Hine-nui-te-pō is also called ‘Great Lady of the Night’.
