Popol Vuh
The Maya book of origins tells how the gods shaped the world and humankind from maize, and how the cunning Hero Twins outwit the lords of death in the underworld. A dazzling creation epic from the heart of the Americas.
No companion available yet.
A creation story as inventive and strange as any in the world, full of trickster heroes and talking animals, and a rare surviving voice of the pre-Columbian Americas. Vivid, playful, and profound.
SettingMythic Mesoamerica
The mythic Mesoamerican cosmos of the Maya, where gods experiment with making humankind, the dead rule a fearsome underworld, and the line between human and divine is porous.
