Aztec: A foundation of the belief is that the universe requires blood for sustenance. War and violence is therefore “benevolent”, even internally and especially if it’s completely avoidable, diplomacy should be saved as a last resort. The afterlife is quite crappy, the best outcome amounts to a violent death, spending four years in the house of the sun then getting evicted to live as an animal.
7.5/10

Inca: Sometimes a guy just needa turn to stone you know, don’t even need to have a reason really, it’s kinda just what’s in the vogue back then.
6/10

Central American: wholesome in contrast to the other regions’ myth(except The childhood of Sun and Moon, that was psychotic)
5/10

Maya: Read Popol Vuh instead

Fascinating!

I really enjoyed thus book!

A serviceable but far from inspiring read. Clayton fulfills his promise of introducing the reader to the myths of Mayan, Aztec, Incan and Central American cultures. The written records of the Mayan and Aztec cultures allowed him to delve more deeply into these mythologies, tracking their parallel creation myths. On everything else he has a more eclectic style, narrating this or that tale without much in the way of context.

Very good book full of great stories of the peoples of the southern, central, and northern middle America's. So cool the way many of their ancient stories remind one of the stories in the bible and other works from around the world. Very entertaining.

Interesting tales from Central and South America.

Listened to this book in audio format and the narration was really not great though, probably better on paper !
