Abstract

How dis the hummingbird become the symbol of the chief Aztec god ? Who were the Hero twins ? Why was Venus the planet of war ? Did the Maya practise human sacrifice ? And did thay eat their victims ? Who played the ancient ballgame ? Who were the first consumers of chocolate ? What was a "war of flowers" ? The myths and beliefs of the great Precolumbian civilizations of Mesoamerica have baffled and fascinated outsiders ever since the Spanish Conquest. Yet, until now, no single-volume introduction has existed to act as a guide to this labyrinthine symbolic world. The gods and symbols of ancient Mexico and the Maya includes nearly 300 entries. Topics range from jaguar and jester gods to reptile eye and rubber, from creation accounts of Mesoamerican history and religion, while a substantial bibliographical survey directs the reader to original sources and discussions. Dictionary entries are illustrated with photographs and commissioned line drawings.
