Page "Malina" Paragraph 0

Malina is a solar deity in Inuit mythology.

She is found most commonly in the legends of Greenland that link her closely with the lunar deity Anningan, her brother.

Malina is constantly fleeing from Anningan as the result of strife between the two ( legends vary as to the cause ).

Their constant chase is the traditional explanation for the movement of the sun and moon through the sky.
