Aztec Myths

Aztec myths explained life and death by linking them to the earth, sky and sea in a grand cosmic scheme. This collection explores the history, gods, calendar and tales of the Aztecs, from the war god Huitzilopochtli to the supreme deity Tezcatlipoca; from migration legends to the origin myth of the Five Suns. Also includes Maya and Incan tales.

Ca si alte culturi mezoamericane, miturile aztece au explicat viata si moartea legandu-le de pamant, cer si mare intr-o mare schema cosmica. Aceasta colectie exploreaza istoria, zeii, calendarul si povestile acestui popor, de la zeul razboiului Huitzilopochtli pana la zeitatea suprema Tezcatlipoca; de la legendele migratiei pana la mitul originii celor Cinci Sori.
