The first introduction to the Incas and their myths aimed at students and general readers, bringing together a wealth of information into one convenient resource. Full of hard to find information, Handbook of Inca Mythology provides an accessible introduction to the rites, beliefs, and spiritual tales of the Incas. It provides a concise overview of Incan civilization and mythology, a chronology of mythic and historical events, and an A–Z inventory of central themes (sacrifice, fertility, competition, reversaldualism, colors, constellations, giants, and miniatures), personages (Viracocha, Manco Capac, Pachackuti Inca), locations (Lake Titicaca, Corickancha), rituals, and icons. The last Native American culture to develop free of European influence, the Incas, who had no written language, are known only from Spanish accounts written after the conquest and archaeological finds. From these fragments, a vanished world has been reborn and reintroduced into modern Andean life. There is no better way into that world and its mind-bending mythology than this unique handbook.

This book is dedicated to exploring the gods and goddesses that the Incas on the American continent worshiped, and within the pages you will find subtopics like: Historical background of the Inca empire before the colonists arrived. The myths about creation, death, procreation, and more. Strange gods and goddesses they worshipped, sometimes in brutal, macabre ways. The polytheist Inca religion. Child sacrifices and inhumane rituals as part of idol worship. Typical elements that made up the Inca civilization. Inca mythology is intricate, complex, and the ideals behind their mythological beliefs were often intertwined with real life events. This book will examine how both myth and fact contributed to the culture and traditions of the Inca, and how these influences and some stories continue to live on throughout the centuries.

INCA MYTHS AND LEGENDS The dramatic stories the Incas told about themselves and the world around them - are only available to us from post-conquest documents written by Spanish conquistadors and chroniclers. Roger Townsend looks at the basic elements of Inca culture and society described in these accounts and reviews the literary sources on which our knowledge of this ancient civilization's mythology is based. Drawing on published texts and unpublished documents, as well as the evidence from archaeological remains, he presents the reader with a variety of types of Inca mythic accounts, such as tales of cosmic creation, the founding of the Inca Empire, and the deeds of some of its prominent kings and queens. He also explores the mythic traditions of various ethnic groups fro around the Empire, including tantalizing remnants of state-origin myths from the north coast of Peru. Finally he details certain myths and religious beliefs of post-conquest, colonial descendants of the Incas that give us insights into age-old mythic themes uniting peoples throughout the Andes over time.
