In the mythology of Tonga, Ilaheva Vaepopua (Ilaheva, living at Vaepopua) was a mortal woman, the daughter of Seketoa. Seketo'a was either a chief of Tongatapu, or perhaps a god from Niuatoputapu, depending on the source. All accounts, however, agree that 'Ilaheva became the wife of Tangaloa and mother of Ahoeitu, the first divine king of the Tui Tonga dynasty in Tonga, around 900 AD.
Her name was ûIlaheva. She lived near Vaûepopua in Tongatapu. Her chief or noble relative may have lived in Tongatapu, but perhaps also in Niutoputapu, Niue, or Samoa. ( E. W. Gifford, 1924)
ûIlaheva was a noble Tongan woman mentioned in Tongan mythology. She is known as the mother of ûAhoûeitu, who became the first Tuûi Tonga (sacred king of Tonga). According to tradition, ûIlaheva lived near Vaûepopua in Tongatapu, where she met the god Tangaloa ûEitumÃÂtupuûa, who descended from the heavens. Their union produced ûAhoûeitu, who later ascended to the sky to meet his divine father and eventually established the royal Tongan dynasty ( E. W. Gifford, 1924).
