Giant rainbow serpent of Dahomean mythology that carried upon his back the goddess Mawn when she created the world. Subsequently, he coiled around the creation, and Mawn placed a great sea around him to allay the fierce heat. It is said that Aido Hwendo will one day become so hungry that he will devour himself, thus causing the entire world to collapse. |
