Page "Nanahuatzin" Paragraph 2

In this legend, which is the basis for most Nanahuatl myths, there had been four creations.

In each one, one god has taken on the task of serving as the sun: Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc, and Chalchiuhtlicue.

Each age ended because the gods were not satisfied with the human beings that they had created.

Finally, Quetzalcoatl retrieves the sacred bones of their ancestors, mixes them with corn and his own blood, and manages to make acceptable human beings.

However, no other god wants the task of being the sun.
