Editing Rohe (mythology) (section)

==Māori==
The [[Māori people|Māori]] knew little of Rohe. Tregear records the one [[myth]] associated with her, in which she is the wife of [[Māui (Māori mythology)|Māui]]. She was beautiful as he was ugly, and she refused his request to exchange faces. Māui, however, recited an [[incantation]], and their faces were switched. In anger Rohe left him, and refused to live any longer in the world of [[light]]. She went to the [[underworld]], and became a [[goddess]] of the pō ([[night]] or spirit world). Rohe is said sometimes to beat the spirits of deceased as they pass through her realm. Her home is in that division of the  night world called [[Uranga-o-te-rā|Te Uranga-o-te-rā]]. Māui and Rohe had a son named Rangihore, the god of rocks and stones.<ref>Craig 1989:231</ref><ref>Tregear 1891:421</ref><ref>One source gives 'Koke' as another name for Rohe: this looks suspiciously like a misreading rather than a plausible alternative name.</ref>
