| | Polynesian Mythology |
 | | For when their ancestors moved out from the Polynesian nucleus in the western islands, they carried with them the knowledge of the same great mythological events, the names of their gods and of their many demi gods and heroes. | | | Throughout Polynesia much of the creative energy of the people flow into words that were woven into songs and stories about gods and heroes who had the strengths and weaknesses of men, and into tales of history about noble ancestors who bore the names and attributes of gods. | | | The need of every man of status for a famous ancestor resulted in the absorption of these characters into the genealogies of the ruling Polynesian families, and when more than one of them appeared in the same genealogy, brought them also into relationship with each other. |

| | Indonesia Mythology - Summary |
| | Considering first the question raised at the beginning of this section as to a distinction between specifically Indonesian mythology as opposed to Malay, the results are, it must be confessed, rather disappointing. | | | Beliefs in a triad of gods, in serpent deities and cosmic eggs, in heavenly beings with magic flying-houses (vidhyâdharas) and roc-like birds who preyed upon man (garudas) — these and probably others seem attributable to this period and to Indian sources. | | | Judging only from the evidence of the Trickster Tales, this earliest Indian influence shows itself in the mythology most strongly in Java and parts of Sumatra and southern Borneo. |

| | Ata - Polynesian mythology |
| | Tiki The concept of Tiki in Polynesian myths is quite complex: he is god, man, and the image of the god, with a notion somewhat similar to the Biblical concept that man was created in the image of God. | | | The ancient Polynesians often portrayed their gods as stars, and Fetu o Atea is the goddess of the morning star. | | | Tangaroa Tangaroa (Kanaloa in Hawaii, Ta'aroa in Tahiti), the third member of this primal trinity, is regarded in some areas of Polynesia as god of the wind, in others as god of the darkness and the underworld, but more often as god of the sea, and is usually portrayed in the form of an octopus. |
