Menulis

Culture: Baltic (Lithuanian/Latvian)   Also spelled: Mėnulis   Domain: The moon

Menulis is the moon god of Baltic mythology, married in some tellings to Saule the sun, with a marriage that famously fails due to his own infidelity, for which he is punished, a folk tale often read as explaining the moon's changing, uneven phases in contrast to the sun's steady daily path.
