This is an interpretation of an aspect of the Māori creation story, from Aotearoa (New Zealand), told from the point of view of Hinenuitepō, the goddess of the underworld, which describes how she was once known as Hine-Tītama, but upon learning that her lover and the father of her daughters was in fact also her own father, decided to leave this world and descend to Rarohenga where she would never have to see him again.
