Quetzalcoatl is a prominent deity in Mesoamerican cultures, particularly among the Aztecs and Toltecs. Often depicted as a feathered serpent, he symbolizes wisdom, wind, and life. Quetzalcoatl is associated with creation and is believed to have brought knowledge, agriculture, and the arts to humanity. In addition to being a god, Quetzalcoatl is also linked to historical figures, such as the Toltec ruler Ce Acatl Topiltzin, who is said to have embodied the deity. His stories often emphasize themes of duality, representing both the earthly and the divine, and he remains a significant figure in modern interpretations of ancient Mesoamerican mythology.
