Tongan mythology

Tongan narrative (or Tongan mythology) is a variant of a more general Polynesian narrative in Tonga.

In the beginning there was just the sea, and the spirit world, Pulotu; and between them was a rock called Touiaʻo Futuna. On the rock lived Biki and his twin sister, Kele, ʻAtungaki and his twin sister, Maimoaʻo Longona, Fonua'uta and his twin sister, Fonuavai, and Hemoana and his twin sister, Lupe. Biki lay with his own sister and she bore him two children, a son, Taufulifonua, and a daughter, Havea Lolofonua; ʻAtungaki also lay with his sister, who bore him a daughter, Velelahi; and Fonuaʻuta lay with his sister and she bore him a daughter, Velesiʻi.

When Taufulifonua grew to manhood, his sister, Havea Lolofonua, bore him a son, Hikuleʻ o, Tangaloa and Maui divided the creation between them. Hikuleʻo took as his portion, Pulotu, Tangaloa took the sky and Maui the underworld. Hemoana, whose form the sea snake, and Lupe, whose form was a dove, then divided the remainder between them, Hemoana taking the sea and Lupe taking the land.

Tangaloa had several sons in the sky: Tangaloa Tamapoʻuli ʻAlamafoa, Tangaloa ʻEitumatupuʻa, Tangaloa ʻAtulongolongo and Tangaloa Tufunga. Old Tangaloa grew tired of looking down from the sky and seeing nothing but sea, so he sent down Tangaloa ʻAtulongolongo in the form of a plover to see if he could find land. All Tangaloa 'Atulongolongo could find was a reef below the water, where ʻAta is now. So old Tangaloa told Tangaloa Tufunga to throw down into the sea the chips from the wood carving on which he was working. Tangaloa Tufunga continued to do this for a long time, and on two occasion Tangaloa ʻAtulongolongo flew down in the form of a plover to see if anything had happened, but found nothing. On the third occasion, however, he found that the chips had formed an island. This was ʻEua. Later, Tangaloa Tufunga threw down more chips to form the islands of Kao and Tofua.
