The Popol Vuh by Anonymous
A mythic narrative of the K’iche’ Maya that weaves creation stories, the formation of humans from maize, the adventures and trials of culture heroes—most notably the Hero Twins who outwit the lords of the underworld—and a sequence of origin myths and genealogies that explain rituals, social order, and the cosmos.
