It is quoted in Garcia, Origen de los Indios, lib. V. Cap. 7. Balboa, Montesinos, Acosta, and others have also furnished me some incidents. The most scholarly study of the Viracocha legends is that by the late von Tschudi, published in his Beitrage zur Kenntniss des Alien Peru, Vi- enna, 1891. I also refer to that in my American Hero Myths, pp. 168-202, and the discussion of the myth by Dr. Middendorf in his introduction to the drama of Ollanta, Leipzig, 1890.
QUETZALCOATL. 213 the four winds, ...both were the fathers, gods, and teach- ers of their nations. Nor does it cease here. Michabo, I have shown, is the white spirit of the Dawn. Viracocha, all authorities translate " the fat or foam of the sea. " The idea conveyed is of whiteness, foam being called fat from its color. 1 So true is this that to- day in Peru white men are called viracochas, and the early explorers constantly received the same epithet. The name is a metaphor. The dawn rises above the horizon as the snowy foam on the surface of a lake.
