Oahu, island in central Hawaii, between Kauai and Molokai islands, in Honolulu County is the most heavily populated of the Hawaiian Islands that is why it is known as the Gathering Place. Two parallel mountain ranges, the Koolau Range and the Waianae Range, cross Oahu from northwest to southeast. A wide fertile plateau separates the two ranges. Among the many popular beaches is the renowned Waikiki, backed by the famous Diamond Head, an extinct volcano. The largest community, Honolulu, is the state capital. Oahu was named in honor of a good chief, the son of Papa, the Earth Mother, and Lua. Under Oahu the island flourished, so the people called the island Oahu-a-Lua (Oahu, child of Lua). If you are fond of myths and legends, Oahu is the perfect place for you. According to Hawaiian legend, on the island of Oahu you can hear stories about ancient warriors or about the bad omenous pork. The classic legend says that if one carries pork of any kind over the Nuuanu Pali by car, the car will stop at a certain point on the way and will not start again until the pork is removed from the vehicle. To spread more mystery upon the story, it is said that it happens only after dark. Some versions of the story require the pork to be raw; other versions say that this happens after dark. But don’t be afraid! This legend has its roots in ancient Hawaiian mythology. According to the legend, the Hawaiian volcano goddess Pele and the demigod Kamapua‘ (a half-man-half-pig) didn’t have a friendly relationship, and the two agreed not to visit each other. If one takes pork over the Pali, the legend says, one is symbolically taking a piece of Kamapua‘a from one side to the other, and it is said that Pele would stop that from happening.
