Popol Vuh: Epic of Origins
In this presentation, Popol Vuh will be introduced with a focus on a segment of the Mayan epic that features the journey of the Hero Twins who engage the Lords of Xibalba in a life-or-death game that resembles modern-day soccer. The presentation will include some cultural background about the Maya and historical information about the text. A reading from the Popol Vuh will serve as a launching point for discussion about significant themes and narrative elements.
