Mythology of Oceania

The mythology of Oceania and the Gods of the Pacific region are both complex and diverse. They have been developed over many centuries on each of the islands and atolls that make up Oceania. While some gods are shared between many groups of islands while others are specific to one set of islands or even to a single island. Their exact roles are often overlapping as one god can appear in different places under different names. A god can also appear in many different forms.

Oceania is a general name applied to a very vast region including Polynesia, Micronesia, Australia, Tasmania and more. It is important to remember that even among these groups (ex. Polynesia) there are still many different societies and tribes with their own cultures. This list is not a complete list of mythologies, just a collection of the more well known beliefs in different regions.
