Abstract

Two mysterious places existed in the world vision of the Aztecs -- Tamoanchan and Tlalocan. Though considered important cosmological places, references to them in Aztec mythology are obscure. Austin presents new interpretations of Aztec mythology based on historical sources, iconographic sources and the beliefs of modern Indians.
