There are some old Celtic myths that mirrors that. I can’t remember where I read it but the old story goes that once the Sun and the moon were lovers. But the Sun god fell in love with Earth who would honour him with flowers in the meadow and fruits on the trees. And so the Sun god abandoned the moon Goddess, leaving her to wander alone in cold darkness forever. But she has the power chase and sometimes eclipse him, and move on the oceans on the Earth.
