Today’s Agenda:
Watch the rest of Moana, comparing the movie to the myth.
In traditional Maui lore, Maui has three brothers and a trickster son or stepson. In these Polynesian myths, Maui is often credited with using his fish hook to pull up many islands from the Pacific Ocean, forming the string of islands for which Polynesia is named (Polynesia translates to mean “many islands”). “Hey, what has two thumbs and pulled up the skyWhen you were waddling ye high? This guyWhen the nights got cold, who stole you fire from down below?You’re looking at him, yo!Oh, also I lassoed the sun, you’re welcomeTo stretch your days and bring you funAlso, I harnessed the breeze, you’re welcomeTo fill your sails and shake your trees.” https://daily.jstor.org/origin-myths-behind-disneys-moana/ If time, other mythologies. Bast was the ancient Egyptian goddess of protection and cats. She was the warrior daughter and defender of Ra, who sent her to fight his archenemy Apep. As protectress, she was seen as defender of the pharaoh, after [[Sekhet], the lioness and consequently of the chief god, Ra. |
