Erinlẹ
text:
In the Yoruba tradition, Erinlẹ was a great hunter who became an orisha. He is said to have conducted the first Olobu of Ilobu to the site of the town of Ilobu, and to have protected the people of the town from Fulani invasions.
He is usually described as a hunter but sometimes as a herbalist or a farmer. It is said that one day he sank into the earth near Ilobu and became a river.
He is known all over Yorùbáland.
The cult of Erinlẹ is found in towns throughout the former Oyo Empire.
