Oshumare is the Rainbow-god, the Great Snake of the Underneath, who comes up at times above the edge of the earth to drink water from the sky.
The name is compounded of shu , to gather in dark clouds, to become gloomy, and the word mare , or maye , which occurs in one of the epithets of Olorun, and the meaning of which is uncertain.
This god is also common to the Ewe-tribes, under the name of Anyiewo, and has been described in “The Ewe-Speaking People of the Slave Coast of West Africa.”
A variety of the python, called by the Yorubas ere , is the messenger of the rainbow-god, and is sacred to him.
