What reading level is American Hero-Myths book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One correct translation of the name Quetzalcoatl is "thebeautiful serpent;" his temple in the city of Mexico, according toTorquemada, had a door in the form of a serpent's mouth; and in the _CodexVaticanus_, No. 3738, published by Lord Kingsborough, of which we have anexplanation by competent native authority, he is represented as a serpent;while in the same Codex, in the astrological signs which were supposed tocontrol the different parts of the human body, the serpent is pictured asthe sign o...f the male member. [1] This indicates the probability that in hisfunction as god of reproduction Quetzalcoatl may have stood in somerelation to phallic rites.
[Footnote 1: Compare the _Codex Vaticanus_, No. 3738, plates 44 and 75, Kingsborough, _Mexican Antiquities_, vol. Ii. ] This same sign, _Ce Coatl_, One Serpent, used in their astrology, was thatof one of the gods of the merchants, and apparently for this reason, somewriters have identified the chief god of traffic, Yacatecutli (God ofJourneying), with Quetzalcoatl.
