The legend of the Sleeping Woman

Iztaccihuatl is the third highest mountain in Mexico, about 40 miles south of Mexico City.

1) Aztec legend tells us that the mountain peaks formed over the body of a girl who died from a broken heart. According to legend, an emperor promised a warrior, Popocatepetl, that he could marry his daughter if he went to battle and came back alive. The emperor’s daughter, Iztaccihuatl, loved Popocatepetl very much and waited for him to come home.

2) This upset Iztaccihuatl very much and she died; some say she died from sadness. When Popocatepetl finally came back from war, he found Iztaccihuatl dead. He carried her to a mountaintop and built a fire.

3) Over time, earth and snow covered their bodies and while Iztaccihuatl became the mountain, Popocatepetl became the volcano. Some people say that the mountain is in the shape of Iztaccihuatl’s body.

4) The legend also says that the smoke that comes from the nearby volcano is actually from Popocatepetl’s fire that still burns. There are many different stories about the shape of the mountain.
