Famous demigod who was a trickster. There are various stories about him. As he bathed, one relates, he trod with his feet in the depths of the ocean while his hair was moistened with the vapor of the clouds. According to another, he made the sun move more slowly so his mother, Hina, could dry her kapa. Folklorists credit seven great and even more minor deeds to Maui. (KILO.)
