(Made for the "Storybooks, Fairy Tales & Folk Songs" community contest graciously hosted by @BlackMana!) Quetzalcoatl is a mythological deity within Aztec mythology Co-creator of the universe; went to the underworld (Mictlan) to gather human bones to create the current human race. Folklore often conflates him with Ce Acatl Topiltzin, a historical 10th-century Toltec ruler of Tula who was reputed to be a peaceful ruler who opposed human sacrifice, advocating instead for offerings of birds, butterflies, and self-bleeding. The earliest known physical evidence of a feathered reptile appears in Olmec art during the Preclassic period (~1200–400 BC). At the site of La Venta (Tabasco), Monument 19 features a relief carving of a massive, crested rattlesnake sheltering a human priest or ruler. At this stage, it is primarily a symbol of earth, water, and agricultural fertility. Following the collapse of Teotihuacán in 650, regional powers scramble for legitimacy. At the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpents in Xochicalco, artists carve images of the god physically wrapping around stylized depictions of rulers and calendar glyphs. This indicates that holding "the mandate of Quetzalcoatl" was required a political foundation to a rule a Mesoamerican kingdom. When you look at indigenous oral traditions compiled in texts like the Leyenda de los Soles (Legend of the Suns) and the Anales de Cuauhtitlan, Quetzalcoatl is depicted as mythological hero: part cosmic savior, part clever trickster, and deeply devoted to protecting humanity. In the mythology; Quetzalcoatl populated the fifth one (our current reality) but the bones of the past generations were locked away in Mictlan (Aztec underworld) and tricked the ruler; the death god Mictlantecuhtli. To provide food for humanity Quetzalcoatl tricked a red ant for the source of the corn by disguising as a black ant and bring back a grain of corn for agriculture. To provide music, Quetzalcoatl confronted the musician hoarding sun with storms to give up its music hoard. This pure life of good deeds make his rival god Tezcatlipoca resentful, and with double-sided smoking mirror showed Quetzalcoatl's own aging, wrinkled, and physically frail causing a depression spiral about his own mortality, and subsequently tricked Quetzalcoatl into drinking a false cure to restore young age while in reality it was a pulque (an alcoholic, fermented agave beverage). Causing Quetzalcoatl to go in a drunken debaucher that broke celestial vows. In his final act of redemption feeling guilt about the chaos he caused, Quetzalcoatl ordered a giant stone chest to be built, lay inside it for four days, and then arose to leave Tula forever. He walked to the eastern sea, put on his divine feather crown and jade mask, and set himself on fire. As his physical body turned to ash, his heart rose out of the flames and ascended into the sky to become Venus, the Morning Star. --- ケツァルコアトル (@BlackManaさんが主催してくださった「Storybooks, Fairy Tales & Folk Songs」コミュニティコンテストのために制作しました!) ケツァルコアトルはアステカ神話に登場する神であり、宇宙の共同創造主です。現在の人類を創り出すために、冥界(ミクトラン)へ赴き、人間の骨を集めました。 民間伝承では、彼をセ・アカトル・トピルツィンと混同することがよくあります。セ・アカトル・トピルツィンは、10世紀のトルテカ文明のトゥーラを統治した実在の君主であり、人身御供に反対し、代わりに鳥や蝶の供物、あるいは自ら血を流す儀式を推奨した平和的な統治者として知られています。 羽のある爬虫類に関する最古の物理的証拠は、前古典期(紀元前1200年~400年頃)のオルメカ美術に見られる。ラ・ベンタ(タバスコ州)の遺跡にあるモニュメント19には、巨大な冠を持つガラガラヘビが、人間の司祭または統治者を庇う様子を刻んだレリーフがある。この段階では、それは主に大地、水、そして農業の豊穣を象徴するものであった。 650年のテオティワカン崩壊後、地域勢力は正当性を求めて争った。ソチカルコの「羽のある蛇のピラミッド」では、芸術家たちが、統治者や暦の象形文字を様式化した描写に、神が身体で巻き付くような像を彫り込んでいる。これは、メソアメリカ王国を統治するための政治的基盤として、「ケツァルコアトルの天命」を保持することが必要であったことを示している。 『太陽の伝説(Leyenda de los Soles)』や『クアウティトラン年代記(Anales de Cuauhtitlan)』といった文献にまとめられた先住民の口承伝承を見ると、ケツァルコアトルは神話上の英雄として描かれている。彼は宇宙の救世主であり、狡猾なトリックスターでもあり、人類を守ることに深く献身している。 神話において、ケツァルコアトルは第五の時代(現在の私たちの現実)に人々を住まわせたが、過去の世代の遺骨はミクトラン(アステカの冥界)に閉じ込められており、彼は死の神ミクトランテクトリを欺いた。人類に食糧を提供するため、ケツァルコアトルは黒い蟻に化けて赤い蟻を騙し、トウモロコシの源を手に入れ、農業のためのトウモロコシの粒を持ち帰った。音楽をもたらすため、ケツァルコアトルは太陽を独占していた音楽家と対峙し、嵐を用いてその音楽の宝庫を明け渡させた。 この善行に満ちた清らかな生き方は、ライバルである神テスカトリポカを嫉妬させ、彼は両面鏡を使ってケツァルコアトルに、老いてしわだらけで肉体が衰えた自身の姿を映し出し、死の現実について鬱々とした思考の渦に巻き込んだ。そして、若さを取り戻すための偽の治療薬として、実際にはプルケ(アガベを発酵させたアルコール飲料)をケツァルコアトルに飲ませた。これによりケツァルコアトルは酩酊して放蕩にふけり、天界の誓いを破ることとなった。 自身が引き起こした混乱への罪悪感から、贖罪の最後の行いとして、ケツァルコアトルは巨大な石の箱を造らせ、その中に四日間横たわった後、起き上がってトゥーラを永遠に去った。彼は東の海へと歩き、神聖な羽の冠とヒスイの仮面を身につけると、自らに火を放った。肉体が灰と化す中、彼の心臓は炎の中から浮かび上がり、空へと昇って金星、すなわち明けの明星となった。 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalc https://www.scribd.com/document/297336154/Topiltzin-Quetzalcoatl
