| Résumé : | In view of the Christian infiuences-and those from other geographic areas-that can be detected in the sources on Aztec myths, it might be concluded thdt “Aztec mythoiogy does not exist.” After demonfitrating the absurdity of this statement, the present article artaiyies the accovnts and iconography of transgression in the paradise of Tamoanchan, taking into account other variants equivalent to this sin that consist in a creation without permission. Without overlooking the unquestionabte Christian infiuences present in colonial sources, the existence of important parallels between these Mesoamerican myths of transgression and numerous other mythical traditions in the world is emphasized. |
