| 520 | _a"Legends of Ma-ui—a demi god of Polynesia, and of his mother Hina" by W. D. Westervelt is a collection of mythological tales written in the early 20th century. The book explores the adventures and exploits of the demi-god Maui alongside his mother Hina, delving into themes of creation, transformation, and the cultural origins of the Hawaiian Islands. The narrative intertwines various legends which highlight Maui’s supernatural abilities and his interactions with the elements and other deities. The opening of the book introduces the legendary figure of Maui and provides context regarding his place within Polynesian mythology. It describes his family background, noting that he has several brothers, all named Maui. It also highlights Maui's unique attributes and skills, which set him apart within their family. The narrative touches on the legends surrounding Maui's actions, such as lifting the sky, fishing up islands, and searching for fire. Furthermore, it begins to lay the groundwork for a broader exploration of Maui's character as both a trickster and a benefactor, setting the stage for a variety of adventures threaded throughout the collection.
