Hawaiian Mythology by Beckwith
A really good Pele overview and documentation of the migration of belief system and peoples across the Pacific - great read the museum store has copies in stock as well as amazon.
Kind of presents Pele as a fiery lady with issues that was relegated to this one and only volcano - after much searching.
According to the Beckwith narrative Many of the men Pele consumed were happy in prior relation ships - many of the legends focus on the mortal love between two characters ripped apart by an envious Pele - its not all about passion - sometimes its about ownership and envy..... grin
You will also find a unique Adam and Eve parable - included in the book to ensure funding during a very christian centered time here on Island imho - fun read
