Before felling a tree so slaying a child of Tane Mahuta , god of the forest they would placate the spirits. Searching for food they would not speak of their purpose for fear that the prey might hear and make good its escape. At last, in the void of empty space, a glow appeared, the moon and the sun sprang forth and the heavens were made light. Then did Rangi the Sky Father live with Papa the Earth Mother , but as the two clung together their offspring lived in darkness.
The Sky lay upon the Earth, and light had not yet come between them. Their children were vexed that they could not see, and argued among themselves as to how night and day might be made manifest.
The fierce Tumatauenga god of war urged that they kill their parents, but Tane Mahuta god of the forests counselled that they separate their father Rangi from their mother Papa and in that way achieve their object.
Tane's wisdom prevailed, and in turn each of the children struggled mightily to prise the Sky from the Earth. Rongo god of cultivated food and Tangaroa god of the sea did all they could, and the belligerent Tumatauenga cut and hacked. But to no avail. Finally it was Tane Mahuta who by thrusting with his mighty feet gradually lifted the anguished Rangi away from the agonised Papa.
So was night distinguished from day. Heartbroken, Rangi shed an immense quantity of tears, so much so that the oceans were formed. Tawhiri god of wind and storm , who had opposed his brothers in the venture, was fearful that Papa would become too beautiful, and followed his father to the realm above. From there he swept down in fury to lash the trees of Tane Mahuta until, uprooted, they fell in disarray. Tawhiri then turned his rage on Tangaroa god of the sea who sought refuge in the depths of the ocean.
But as Tangaroa fled his many grandchildren were confused, and while the fish made for the seas with him, the lizards and reptiles hid among rocks and the battered forests. It was then for Tangaroa to feel anger. His grandchildren had deserted him and were sheltering in the forests.
So it is that to this day the sea is eating into the land, slowly eroding it and hoping that in time the forests will fall and Tangaroa will be reunited with his offspring. The creation of woman: When the participants lay exhausted and peace at last descended, Tane Mahuta fashioned from clay the body of a woman, and breathed life into her nostrils.
But Hine-titama had been unaware of her father's identity, and when she found he was the Tane she thought was her husband, she was overwhelmed with shame. The children of Tane were plentiful, and increased and multiplied, for death held no dominion over them.

The Maui Cycle in Maori Mythology The birth of Maui Maui, fifth of his parents' sons, was born so premature, so frail and so underdeveloped that he could not possibly have survived. So his mother, Taranga , wrapped the foetus in a knot of her hair and threw it into the sea - hence Maui's full name of Maui-tikitiki-a-Taranga 'Maui, the topknot of Taranga'.
For certain he would have died, but the gods intervened and Rangi, the Sky Father, nursed him through infancy. As a grown child, Maui returned to confront his bewildered mother and to amaze his family with feats of magic. Not surprisingly, Maui's four brothers were jealous of the favouritism shown him by their mother Taranga, but when he offered to slow down the sun so that the days would be longer and they would all have more time to find food, they agreed to help.
Carrying the enchanted jawbone of his grandmother, Maui led his brothers eastwards, to the edge of the pit from which the sun rises each morning. There, as it rose, the brothers snared the sun with huge plaited flax ropes. As they held it still, Maui with the enchanted jawbone cruelly smashed the sun's face time and time again, until it was so feeble that it could but creep across the sky - and continues so to do to this very day. Maui snares and beats the sun to slow its transit through the sky.
Maui's brothers, weary of seeing their younger brother catch fish by the kit full when they could barely hook enough to feed their families, usually tried to leave him behind when they went fishing.
But their wives complained to Maui of a lack of fish, so he promised them a catch so large they would be unable to finish it before it went bad. To make good his boast Maui carefully prepared a special fishhook which he pointed with a chip from the magic jawbone, and then hid under the flooring mats of his brothers' fishing canoe. At dawn the brothers silently set sail, thinking they had managed to leave their brother behind, and only when they were well out to sea did Maui emerge.
The brothers were furious, but it was too late to turn back. After they had fished in vain, Maui suggested that they sail until well out of sight of land, where they would catch as many fish as the canoe could carry.
The dispirited brothers were easily persuaded, and Maui's prediction came true. But even when the canoe was so overladen with fish that it was taking on water and the brothers were ready to set sail for home, Maui produced his own hook and line and against their protests insisted on throwing it out.
For bait, he struck his nose until it bled and smeared the hook with his own blood. Not much is known about Belatucadros since most of the stories about him were never written down but spread by word of mouth.
He was typically depicted as a man wearing full armor with horns and his name has never appeared with a female consort.
