Aloha I'm Mike Rugnetta, and this is Crash Course Mythology and today we're

程度の副詞

going to continue looking at goddesses, and what makes them so great!

In this episode we'll focus on two myths:

and another about White Buffalo Calf Woman.

We're going to look at these myths a bit more in-depth

than we usually do, and head to places we haven't talked about much before:

Hawaii and North America.  Y'all packed, Ttoth?

*jokes you'll need to pause the video to read, honestly*

Longtime crash-course fans may remember that Hawaiian mythology featured heavily

who was supposed to be pretty powerful, but he was only one of the great gods who

followed Pele, the fire goddess, to Hawaii from the land beyond the vast oceans.

By the time Cook arrived in Hawaii, Pele was the most feared and respected of

Hawaii's divinities, holding court with her five brothers and sisters in the Kilauea

Volcano--which is a scary place to hold court, but very convenient if you like BBQ.

Pele exemplifies the "Triple-Goddess" that we talked about in the previous episode:

controlling the lava that gives the Hawaiian islands its rich, fertile soil

but-also destroys EVERYTHING in its path.

the regenerative goddess of sexual allure and creativity.

In short, "This girl / is on fi-yah!" ...(emoji)

One day Pele decided to come out of her smoldering pit at Kilauea to go to the beach.

After frolicking in the Hawaiian surf with her sisters,

she warned her sisters  that if any of them woke her

If it were absolutely necessary to awaken her

At the time, Hi'iaka was out playing in the Lehua groves,

and making friends with a tree spirit, named Hopoe,

who quickly became Hi'iaka's best friend.

Meanwhile, the dream spirit of the sleeping Pele traveled to

Kauai where there was a hula performance in the Alaka sacred hall.

The prince saw her and fell in love with her instantly.

He invited her to eat with him and then go back to his house.

Pele allowed the prince to kiss her but not to touch her--which is a little confusing,

because, isn't kissing a kind of touching?-- anyway, the Prince tried getting handsy

anyway, and Pele floated away back to Hawaii.

he (Lohiau) hanged himself with his loincloth.

Thaught Bubble, you can take it from here.

After a few days Pele's sisters grew worried about her trance-like nap

The little sister chanted over her big sister's body

and the great goddess woke up (and didn't kill anyone).

Pele asked each of her sisters to go to Kauai

and fetch Lohiau, but they were all too afraid

-after she accomplished her task, Pele would take Lohiau as a lover

for five days and nights,  and then he would belong to Hi'iaka.

not to destroy the Lehua groves where her friend Hopoe lived.

She also asked for some of Pele's magic power to help her on her journey.

where she found that Lohiau had been dead.. for many days.

Hi'iaka looked closely and noticed above the prince's body a dim ghost-Spirit hovering.

Using all her extra magic power she brought Lohiau back to life.

While Hi'iaka was away on her journey,  Pele broke her promise,

and her lava destroyed the Lehua groves! --KILLING Hopoe!

Hi'iaka saw this betrayal so she decided that,  since the bargain was broken,

she would take Lohiau as her own, saying,

"I have faithfully kept the compact between myself and my sister,"

"I am free to treat this handsome man  as my own lover,"

"-this man, who has had a desire for me."

"And I will let Pele with her own eyes see the compact broken."

When their sisters saw her kissing Lohiau,

Which makes it seem like she's okay with it

The lava spared Hi'iaka but flowed over Lohiau

Pele, still angry, would have destroyed the world itself,

but another God, Kane the earth-shaper,  calmed her down.

A great sorcerer came to the pit where Pele and her sisters lived

and asked them why his friend, Lohiau, had been destroyed.
