Eki
Eki, also known as Ekhi, Eguzki, Iuski, Iguzki, Iduzki or Eguzku, is the Sun in the Basque language. In Basque mythology, Eki is seen as the daughter/son of Mother Earth, to whom she/he returns daily. She/he is regarded as the protector of humanity and the enemy of all evil spirits. The ancient Basques called her "grandmother"; and held rites in her honour at sunset. They believed that when the sun set, Eki travelled into Itxasgorrieta ("The Reddish Seas") beneath the earth into the womb of Amalur aka. Lurbira, her/his mother.
