In this comprehensive study, Enrique Florescano traces the spread of the worship of the Plumed Serpent, and the multiplicity of interpretations that surround him, by comparing the Palenque inscriptions (ca. A.D. 690), the Vienna Codex (pre-Hispanic Conquest), the Historia de los Mexicanos (1531), the Popul Vuh (ca. 1554), and numerous other texts. He also consults and reproduces archeological evidence from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, demonstrating how the myth of Quetzalcoatl extends throughout Mesoamerica.

This volume had its beginnings in the two-day colloquium, "Rethinking Chichén Itzá, Tula and Tollan," that was held at Dumbarton Oaks. The selected essays revisit long-standing questions regarding the nature of the relationship between Chichen Itza and Tula. Rather than approaching these questions through the notions of migrations and conquests, these essays place the cities in the context of the emerging social, political, and economic relationships that took shape during the transition from the Epiclassic period in Central Mexico, the Terminal Classic period in the Maya region, and the succeeding Early Postclassic period.

Quetzalcoatl by most accounts was the principal deity of the great pre-Columbian civilizations of Mexico and parts of Central America. Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl, the Toltec mystic, is a national icon of modern Mexico; his image is cast in gold and silver, depicted in the paintings, murals and frescos of Diego Rivera and others, and is found in the museums of anthropology in the form of codices.To the Toltecs, Topiltzin was the teacher of wisdom and art. Under his guidance, the Toltecs prospered: the earth teemed with fruits and flowers without the pains of culture. An ear of Indian corn was as much as a single man could carry. The cotton, as it grew, took, of its own accord, the rich dyes of human art. The air was filled with intoxicating perfumes and the sweet melody of birds. In short it was the golden age of the Toltecs.While his legend is wrapped up in many myths, told to Spanish priests by native raconteurs, centuries after the Toltec empire had vanished, there is much evidence that Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl was a living personage. States H.B. Nicholson, a respected authority of the Toltecs, "A certain case can be made for some measure of historicity for the tale of Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl of Tollan."Topiltzin, in the eyes of his people, was not a mere man, but was revered as the Hombre-Dios, a Personal God of the stature of a Christ or Buddha. When a man or woman has reached that perfect state, he or she is of the same nature as the Personal God: "I and My Father Are One."Besides his spiritual message, Quetzalcoatl's outstanding contribution was his abolition of human sacrifice: the gods will be more pleased with personal penances, flowers and butterflies than by the offering of human blood.The golden age ends and is followed by a cataclysmic cycle of disasters. The Toltecs turn to Quetzalcoatl's jealous rivals who reinstate human sacrifice. Quetzalcoat greatly distressed, retires to his temple in seclusion.Quetzalcoatl's principal rival, Lord Huemac, who harbors deep grudges against him, turns to Tezcatlipoca, a sorcerer with uncanny magical powers to rid the empire of his nemesis, so he, Huemac, could be king. Tezcatlipoca fools Topiltzin with a strong mushroom wine, thereby his reason is clouded and under disgrace for an unpardonable sin (a hypocritical transgression against his highest code of ethics) Quetzalcoatl departs from Tula, the Toltec capital, to exile fraught with danger and uncertainty.The tale of Quetzalcoatl is a simple story in the Christian sense of sin and redemption, for which even a god is forgiven for his worst impieties.Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl's story is accentuated with the broad and generous universalism taught through personal experience by two great seers of India: Ramakrishna, the god-man of modern Vedanta and his messenger, Vivekananda, who awakened Western audiences with his cogent interpretation of the Vedas and Upanishads. Ramakrishna offers practical Vedanta wisdom, clothed in witty parables; Vivekananda, through his eloquent words and teachings, clarifies the humanism of this delightful Mesoamerican tale.

Most American schoolbooks claim that the Aztec ruler Moctezuma II confused the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés for the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, a fabulous, fair-skinned priest king of ancient times who had promised to return, which is why Moctezuma voluntarily surrendered his mighty empire. In the past, the tale of Quetzalcoatl has inspired many people to speculate about pre-Columbian invaders from the Old World. It has also been abused as another presumed proof of white supremacy. Indigenous traditions, however, saw a Mexican Messiah who played an important part in constructing the Mexican national identity. This book demonstrates that the story of the returning god is a product of “fake news” uttered by Cortés. It does so by analysing the most important sources of the Quetzalcoatl-tale. A systematic context-enlargement that also includes ethnographic information and contemporary history reveals why and how Cortés constructed this story, and why and how the Aztec elite adopted it. This method proves to be an epistemological tool which allows researchers to identify pre-Hispanic information in ethnohistorical texts of colonial times. As a result, the true Quetzalcoatl behind the legend comes to light.

The Myth of Quetzalcoatl is a translation of Alfredo López Austin’s 1973 book Hombre-Dios: Religión y politica en el mundo náhuatl. Despite its pervasive and lasting influence on the study of Mesoamerican history, religion in general, and the Quetzalcoatl myth in particular, this work has not been available in English until now. The importance of Hombre-Dios and its status as a classic arise from its interdisciplinary approach, creative use of a wide range of source material, and unsurpassed treatment of its subject—the nature and content of religious beliefs and rituals among the native populations of Mesoamerica and the manner in which they fused with and helped sanctify political authority and rulership in both the pre- and post-conquest periods. Working from a wide variety of previously neglected documentary sources, incorporating myth, archaeology, and the ethnography of contemporary Native Americans including non-Nahua peoples, López Austin traces the figure of Quetzalcoatl as a “Man-God” from pre-conquest times, while Russ Davidson’s translator’s note, Davíd Carrasco's foreword, and López Austin’s introduction place the work within the context of modern scholarship. López Austin’s original work on Quetzalcoatl is a pivotal work in the field of anthropology, and this long-overdue English translation will be of significance to historians, anthropologists, linguists, and serious readers interested in Mesoamerica.

"Due to its scope and perspective this work has a relevance that extends far beyond the conventional bounds of literary studies. Concerned as it is with issues of historical understanding, culture, and politics, it has implications for the literary histories of Spanish America and the United States, as well as for the fields of inter-American and cultural studies, literary theory, and historiography."--BOOK JACKET.

Davíd Carrasco draws from the perspectives of the history of religions, anthropology, and urban ecology to explore the nature of the complex symbolic form of Quetzalcoatl in the organization, legitimation, and subversion of a large segment of the Mexican urban tradition. His new Preface addresses this tradition in the light of the Columbian quincentennial. "This book, rich in ideas, constituting a novel approach . . . represents a stimulating and provocative contribution to Mesoamerican studies. . . . Recommended to all serious students of the New World's most advanced indigenous civilization."—H. B. Nicholson, Man
