Rata, a prominent figure in Tahitian mythology, embodies the archetypal hero: driven by vengeance, resourceful, and ultimately victorious. His story, passed down through generations, carries themes of filial duty, the power of nature, and the perilous nature of the sea.
Rata, in Tahitian mythology, is said to have become king of Tahiti when his uncle, king Tumu-nui, and his father Vahieroa (Tahitian mythology) are swallowed by a great clam while they are on their way to Pitcairn.
Rata was born in the fairy-land of Kupolu and started off to fell a tree. He saw a sea snake and a white heron in deadly fight; at first he thought to kill the snake, but was asked by the latter not to interfere, so Rata heeded not the heron's cry for help, but went on with his work, and hewed down his tree.
