Malina : The Sun Goddess

Malina is a solar deity in the Inuit mythology of the tribes of Greenland. The story of Malina is closely associated with the lunar deity known as Igaluk or Anningan who also happens to be her brother. Their constant chase is believed to be the reason for the movement of the Moon and Sun in the sky.

Inuit mythology states that Igaluk and Malina were very close when they were young. However, they eventually grew apart as they got older and lived in separate houses. He realised that Malina was the most beautiful of all women and started lusting after her. One night, after identifying the unique fabric of her clothes, Igaluk found her and mated with her.

Malina did not know the identity of the person who raped her and the next time it happened, Malina covered her hands with the oil lamps and wiped his face with it. After realizing that her brother was the one who had been sexually active with her, she became red and hot due to shame and anger. She ran to the sky with Igaluk right behind her.
