In
Polynesian mythology,
Tinirau is a god of
fish and the
ocean. He has a dual nature; one destructive as the god of
sharks, and one a kind, handsome male youth. As a human, his right side is human and his left side if a
fish. He is married to
Hina Keha[?], a
lunar deity.
Hina Uri[?], a different
lunar deity, fell in love with him but he scorned her.
