Smith & Sons (Windward)], Arthur Cotterell, A Dictionary of World Mythology, Oxford University Press, page 270, One of the great conflict myths in Polynesia was the struggle between [the sky god] Atea and Tane-mahuta, which the Maoris conceived of as the separation of the sky father from the earth mother, Rangi and Papa respectively. The Tuamotu islanders believed that Atea tried to capture the young god Tane, and sent a host of lesser deities after him. After Tane escaped from his pursuers on earth and wandered the clouds, he became so hungry that he killed and ate one of his ancestors, which was the beginning of cannibalism. On reaching manhood, Tane declared war on the sky god and, using the thunderbolts of his ancestor Fatu-tiri, 'thunder', he slew Atea.

It is still this way today between the children of Tane and Tangaroa. 2. The god of peace and beauty.
