The ancient Aztecs dwelt at the center of a dazzling and complex cosmos. From this position they were acutely receptive to the demands of their gods. The Fifth Sun represents a dramatic overview of the Aztec conception of the universe and the gods who populated it—Quetzalcoatl, the Plumed Serpent; Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror; and Huitzilopochtli, the Southern Hummingbird. Burr Cartwright Brundage explores the myths behind these and others in the Aztec pantheon in a way that illuminates both the human and the divine in Aztec life. The cult of human sacrifice is a pervasive theme in this study. It is a concept that permeated Aztec mythology and was the central preoccupation of the aggressive Aztec state. Another particularly interesting belief explored here is the “mask pool,” whereby gods could exchange regalia and, thus, identities. This vivid and eminently readable study also covers the use of hallucinogens; cannibalism; the calendars of ancient Mexico; tlachtli, the life-and-death ball game; the flower wars; divine transfiguration; and the evolution of the war god of the Mexica. A splendid introduction to Aztec religion, The Fifth Sun also contains insights for specialists in ethnohistory, mythology, and religion.

One of the great documents of colonial Mexico, the Codex Chimalpopoca chronicles the rise of Aztec civilization and preserves the mythology on which it was based. Its two complementary texts, Annals of Cuauhtitlan and Legend of the Suns, record the pre-CortŽsian history of the Valley of Mexico together with firsthand versions of that region's myths. Of particular interest are the stories of the hero-god Quetzalcoatl, for which the Chimalpopoca is the premier source. John Bierhorst's work is the first major scholarship on the Codex Chimalpopoca in more than forty years. His is the first edition in English and the first in any language to include the complete text of the Legend of the Suns. The precise, readable translation not only contributes to the study of Aztec history and literature but also makes the codex an indispensable reference for Aztec cultural topics, including land tenure, statecraft, the role of women, the tribute system, warfare, and human sacrifice.

La Mitología Azteca se rescata y se redescubre cada día, en cada terremoto, en cada obra del Metro, en cada gran construcción, en cada excavación del sistema de aguas, al tiempo que se mantiene viva a través del náhuatl que hablan más de un millón de mexicanos, muchos de ellos en pleno centro del país, alrededor de lo que fue la gran Tenochtitlan. En la presente obra el lector podrá descubrir sus mitos y sus leyendas, y ver con nuevos ojos y más amplias perspectivas, su verdadera esencia: lo que permanece en el contenido a pesar de los aparentes cambios del continente, y rescatar así un conocimiento primordial que escapa de los sincretismos del tiempo, de las manipulaciones inconscientes del hoyismo, y, sobre todo, de los intereses y de las creencias eclesiásticas y eurocéntricas. Una lengua propia otorga identidad y conocimiento, independencia y albedrío, por lo que la lengua Náhuatl ha sido el vehículo del ser y el estar milenario de una tierra prodigiosa, paradójica y contradictoria, y, sin embargo, alegre, cálida y pujante, como sus leyendas, como sus mitos, como sus historias.

"Like J. Eric Thompson, Carrasco has applied an informed imagination to identify some of the ways that ideas could lie behind material form." - American Anthropologist "A must for both professional and serious non-professional students in Mesoamerica. Those who are interested in complex society and urbanism in general, as well as students of comparative religion, will find it stimulating. Most importantly, for anyone interested in the history of ideas, the book illuminates the tremendously powerful impact and role of a complex deity/mythico-historical figure in shaping one of the world's great pristine civilizations." - Queen's Quarterly

Los mitos de los antiguos aztecas y mayas proceden de una tradición cultural común a toda Mesoamérica que aún pervive en el saber popular de las gentes de México y América Central. Los mitos mayas sobre la creación y el diluvio han sobrevivido bajo diversas formas en la escritura y el arte prehispánicos, pero el imperio azteca surgió sólo dos siglos antes de la conquista española y nuestros conocimientos sobre su mitología provienen fundamentalmente de los primeros documentos coloniales del siglo XVI. En la actualidad, el desciframiento de la escritura jeroglífica maya y la interpretación de los códices han arrojado nueva luz sobre la mitología mesoamericana. Balándose en esas fuentes, el autor vuelve a narrar un gran número de importantes historias, desde los orígenes de la vida a la derrota de los dioses de la muerte. Asimismo nos muestra cómo la mitología proporcionó al estado azteca una justificación de carácter cósmico a su expansión y dominación política.

The legend of Quetzalcóatl is the enduring epic myth of Mesoamerica. The gods create the universe, but man must carefully tend to the harmony of the world. Without spiritual attention to harmony, chaos may reign, destroying the universe and civilization. The ancient Mexicans, like other peoples throughout the world, wrestled with ideas and metaphors by which to know the Godhead and developed their own concepts about their relationship to the universe. Quetzalcóatl came to the Toltecs to teach them art, agriculture, peace, and knowledge. He was a redeemer god, and his story inspires, instructs, and entertains, as do all the great myths of the world. Now available in paperback, the Lord of the Dawn is Anaya's exploration of the cosmology and the rich and complex spiritual thought of his Native American ancestors. The story depicts the daily world of man, the struggle between the peacemakers and the warmongers, and the world of the gods and their role in the life of mankind.

The myths of the Aztec and Maya derive from a shared Mesoamerican cultural tradition. This is very much a living tradition and many of the motifs and gods mentioned in early sources are still evoked in the lore of contemporary Mexico and Central America.
