In Aztec mythology, Iztacchuatl was a princess who fell in love with one of her father's warriors, Popocatpetl. The emperor sent Popocatpetl to war in Oaxaca, promising him Iztacchuatl as his wife when he returned (which Iztacchuatl's father presumed he would not). Iztacchuatl was falsely told that Popocatpetl had died in battle, and believing the news, she died of grief. When Popocatpetl returned to find his love dead, he took her body to a spot outside Tenochtitlan and kneeled by her grave. The gods covered them with snow and changed them into mountains. Iztacchuatl's mountain is called 'White Woman' (from Nahuatl iztc 'white' and cihutl 'woman') because it resembles a woman lying on her back, and is often covered with snow the peak is sometimes nicknamed La Mujer Dormida , 'The Sleeping Woman'. Popocatpetl became an active volcano, raining fire on Earth in blind rage at the loss of his beloved. [4]
A different tale was told by the Nahuatl-speakers of Tetelcingo, Morelos, [5] according to whom Iztacchuatl was the wife of Popo, but Xinantcatl wanted her, and he and Popocatpetl hurled rocks at each other in anger. This was the genesis of the rocky mountain ranges of the continental divide and the Trans-Mexican volcanic belt that lie between the two mountains. Finally Popocatpetl, in a burst of rage, flung an enormous chunk of ice, decapitating the Nevado de Toluca. This is why the Nevado is flat-topped, with wide shoulders but no head. Conceivably this legend preserves the memory of catastrophic eruptions. [6]
The most popular legend about Iztacchuatl and Popocatpetl comes from the ancient Nahuas. [ citation needed ] As it comes from an oral tradition, there are many versions of the same story, along with poems and songs telling this story:
Many years before conquistadorHernn Corts came to Mexico, the Aztecs lived in Tenochtitlan, today's Mexico City. The chief of the Aztecs was a famous Emperor, who was loved by all the natives. The Emperor and his wife, the Empress, were very worried because they had no children. One day the Empress said to the Emperor that she was going to give birth to a child. A baby girl was born and she was as beautiful as her mother. They called her Iztacchuatl, which in Nhuatl means 'white lady'. All the natives loved Izta, and her parents prepared her to be the Empress of the Aztecs. When she grew up, she fell in love with a captain of a tribe, his name was Popoca, however the Emperor would not allow them to marry. One day, a war broke out with the fate of the Empire at stake, and the Aztec warriors had to go South to fight the enemy. The Emperor told Popoca that he had to bring the head of the enemy chief back from the war, so he could marry his daughter. After several months of combat, a warrior who hated Popoca sent a false message to the Emperor. The message said that his army had won the war, but that Popoca had died in battle. The Emperor was very sad when he heard the news, and when Izta heard she could not stop crying. She refused to go out and did not eat any more. A few days later, she became ill and she died of sadness. When the Emperor was preparing Izta's funeral, Popoca and his warriors arrived victorious from war. The Emperor was taken aback when he saw Popoca but prepared to offer the throne, to which Popoca turned down as he only wanted to marry Izta. The Emperor announced that Izta had died of a broken heart. Popoca killed the warriors who had sent the false message to the Emperor. He then took Izta's body and left the town. He walked a long way until he arrived at some mountains where he ordered his warriors to build a funeral table with flowers and he put Izta lying on top. Then he knelt down to watch over Izta and died of sadness too. The Gods were touched by Popoca's sacrifice and turned the tables and the bodies into great volcanoes. The biggest volcano is Popocatpetl, which in Nhuatl means 'smoking mountain'. He sometimes throws out smoke, showing that he is still watching over Iztacchuatl, who sleeps by his side.
Another tale is much like the one before: Some warriors did not want Popoca to be with Izta, since they liked her themselves; and sent a message to the emperor saying that Popoca died. Izta became very sad and died of grief. When Popoca returned, he heard about Izta's death and became sad himself. He went out of town with Izta's body and ordered his soldiers to make a mound for him and Izta. He put Izta's body on one mound and got onto the other with a smoking torch. He remains there forever, looking after Izta, and, as time passed, dirt, snow, rocks, and Mother Nature covered them, turning them into great mountains. Popoca's torch is still smoking as a reminder of what happened. See also [ edit ] References [ edit ]

Princess Erndira of the Purpecha was the princess of the Purpecha from about 15031519. Life [ edit ]
Erndira was 1617 when the Spanish came to Mexico. The Tarascan state's cazonci (monarch), Tangaxuan II, had given up his kingdom and people to the Spanish after he saw the downfall of the Aztec Empire to the Spanish.
The story of princess Erndira's subsequent role as a heroine is based on tradition and may or may not reflect actual events, since there are no contemporary records of her existence. According to the folk legend she led a war on the Spanish.Setting up base on a hill, she attacked the arriving Spaniards. She is said to have killed a Spanish horseman and stole his horse, later using it to train others in horsemanship. During one battle, some Spanish warriors found and murdered Erndira's father in his sleep. Erndira heard of his death and went to see him. According to the tradition, this was when the Purpecha began to lose the war. There are many theories as to what happened to her. Some of which include her suicide by drowning, her leaving to train others for war and that she killed herself for falling in love with a Spanish monk. One legend even claims that she was kidnapped by her own people and put into a temple so that the Spaniards should not find and kill her. Legacy [ edit ]
When Lzaro Crdenas was governor of Michoacn, he built a house in Ptzcuaro, which he named 'La Quinta Erndira.' [1] She had been a regional figure, but as governor and president, Crdenas raised her name recognition significantly. She became a symbol of indigenous resistance to the Spanish conquest, specifically as a foil to the role of Corts's indigenous cultural translator Malinche. [2] Crdenas commissioned muralist Fermn Revueltas to paint murals of Purpecha history and reshape the national narrative from one focused on the Aztecs to one rooted in the indigenous of Michoacan. The story of Erndira was also used to reshape 'Mexico's nation-building ideology of mestizaje' and put 'Purpecha past..as the ideal origin of the Mexican nation.' [3] Reference in Media [ edit ]
