Mayan Mythology
Mayan mythology is part of Mesoamerican mythology and comprises all of the Mayan
tales in which personified forces of nature, deities, and the heroes interacting
with these play the main roles. Other parts of Maya oral tradition (such as
animal tales and many moralising stories) do not properly belong to the domain
of mythology, but rather to legend and folk tale.
