<span>Nanahuatzin and
Tecuciztecatl are two Aztec Gods who have different characteristics far from
each other. Nanahuatzin or Nanahuati is the most humble of all gods. He sacrificed
himself so that he would continue to shine on earth as the sun by throwing himself
to the fire. The meaning of Nanahuatzin is “full of sores”. Usually, Nanahuatzin
is depicted as a man emerging from fire. Tecuciztecatl or Tecciztecatl on the
other hand, is the lunar deity in the Aztec mythology. He represents the old “man-in-the-moon”.
In the stories, it is said that all were living in a universe dominated by a
generation of sun gods. The first few sun gods either perished by wind storms,
jaguars, and fiery rain or by flood. After the fourth sun perished, Nanahuatzin
and Tecuciztecatl vied for the honor of becoming the next sun god. A bonfire was
built for it is there that they will sacrifice the next volunteer. It was
Nanahuatzin, a poor god, who was favored by the majority to be the next sun
god. Tecuciztecatl pushed that he was more deserving but at the last moment he hesitated.
It was because of Nanahuatzin’s courage that he jumped into the fire. But then Tecuciztecatl
gained courage too and followed the lead of Nanahuatzin. The other gods were
mad at the rich and proud Tecuciztecatl for he had followed the humble
Nanahuatzin and so they threw an imprint of the rabbit’s shape dimming Tecuciztecatl’s
brightness. This is the reason Tecuciztecatl’s brightness could only be seen at
night. </span>
Answer:
Read books that are true.
Explanation:
These two examples of how the gods intervene in the lives of humans come from Book 1 of <em>The Iliad</em>.
The first example is that of Apollo. When Agamemnon takes Chryseis, a beautiful maiden, for himself, her father asks for her back. He even offers to pay a significant amount for her, but Agamemnon refuses. Chryseis's father asks the god Apollo for help, and Apollo decides to send a plague to the Greek camp, which leads to the death of many soldiers.
Another example is that of goddess Athena. When Agamemnon sees that he might be deprived of a woman, he asks Achilles to give him his own, a maiden named Briseis. This causes Achilles to become extremely angry, and he even considers killing Agamemnon. However, in order to defuse the situation, the goddess Athena intervenes and succeeds in preventing the duel.
