Mexican famous legend Hi! I want to share with you a traditional mexican legend, I appreciate corrections... Once upon a time the Aztecs controlled all the small villages in the central part of Mexico. The "caciques" (leaders of the villages) were tired of paying tribute to the Aztecs. The Tlaxcaltecas were brave warriors, so they decided to declare the war to the Aztecs. Iztaccíhuatl was the daughter of the Tlaxcaltecas´ leader and was in love with Popocatépetl, a strong man. Popocatépetl wanted to marry Iztaccíhuatl so he made a treat with her father. He was going to fight in the war and if he returned alive he would have the permission to marry Iztaccíhuatl. Time passed, an evil man told Iztaccíhuatl that Popocatépetl had died at war... she was very sad. The war ended and Popocatépetl came back, the people told him that Iztaccíhuatl died of sadness. Popocatépetl was sad and angry, he ordered some men to buid a tomb in the top of a mountain. He took Iztaccíhuatl´s body to the tomb and climbed a mountain that was located in front of her with the purpose of looking out her sleep. Winter came and the snow covered their bodies, after that,they transformed into volcanoes. Today Popo and Itza are known as the eternal lovers, they are the most famous volcanoes in Mexico. This legend is known by little kids and also by old people.
