Maori Myth: Maui's Immortality Attempt

In Maori mythology, Maui attempted to grant immortality to humanity by transforming into a worm and entering the goddess of death's vagina while she slept, in an effort to reverse the birth process. However, a bird's laughter awakened the goddess, who crushed Maui with her vagina's obsidian teeth, making Maui the first mortal to die.
