The Aztecs have a rich mythology rooted in their gods and their belief in cycles of creation and destruction. Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, was one of their most revered deities, associated with wisdom, wind, and life itself. Huitzilopochtli, the sun god, demanded offerings to ensure the continuation of the sun’s journey across the sky.
Aztec legends also feature heroic figures like the warrior-priest Popocatépetl, whose love for the princess Iztaccíhuatl was immortalized in the eruption of two volcanoes. These myths reflect the Aztec worldview, where gods governed every aspect of life, from agriculture to warfare.
