The Sun's Wife
Source: Wikimedia Commons. Public domain.
A Chukchi woman married the sun, but a black beetle convinced her to exchange her clothing. The sun thought the beetle was his wife and took her home. The real woman gave birth to a son, who went in search of his father. The sun then killed the beetle and took back his true wife. When she missed her home, he would extend a sunbeam down to the earth so that she could descend and visit her father. The Inuit believe the sun is female, and according to a widely known myth she was violated by her brother, the moon.
